Using Tribepad’s prescreen questionnaires effectively will save you much time, when it comes to filtering your candidate applications. Imagine how many candidates you might have apply to your vacancy, then imaging how many you filter out, as they don’t meet your minimum requirements. Adding a prescreen questionnaire allows you to only have to see those who have passed your questionnaire.
Tribepad integrates with many skills testing partners, such as Chemistry, SHL and TalentQ – for more information please see integrations
The pre-screening questionnaire can be used to ask specific questions for each job to help screen your applicants – you decide what questions are in your pre-screening questionnaires from what’s important to you in your search for your new employee. There are also different parameters that can be set for each question, for example if they are mandatory:

Creating a Branching Questionnaire –
A Branching Questionnaire is different to a Standard Questionnaire – the answers you require potentially change the direction of the next questions you ask, for example –
“Where in the UK would you like to work?”, then being able to give the candidate further country, then regional options depending on which location they specify.
