There are two types of forms: Internal and Candidate. This article will guide you through creating internal forms, for further information candidate forms follow Candidate Forms.
What Is the Difference Between Internal and Candidate Forms?
Internal forms are used internally by the hiring team to assess and evaluate candidates. They can also be used to provide a uniform set of questions for reference during interviews. These forms cannot be sent to the candidate.
Once the form is created, you can add it to a job within the Assessments section. If an internal form has been added to a job, when you open a candidate's application, the form will show under the Evaluations tab of the candidate profile.
Candidate forms are designed to be sent to candidates; this can be an application form or to gather further information to help with the screening process.
Candidate forms can be sent to candidates via email, sent automatically with a workflow automation, added to email templates.
