Choosing an Answer Type 

Apploi offers 7 different types of answers to choose from, making it easier for candidates to complete your applications. See the answer types below and best use cases for each: 

Text Answer

Allow applicants to enter their answers in a freeform text field. Best used for open-ended questions.

Video Answer

Allow applicants to upload a video answering a particular question. You can set a time limit on the video of 1, 3, or 5 minutes, as well as leave the video open-ended. We recommend only using one required video answer per application to avoid unnecessary drop off of applicants.
