Are you tired of dealing with the hassle of paper applications? Question Templates in Apploi are used to create digital questions asked during the application process that you typically ask on a paper application. Often times your Customer Success Manager will help with the initial implementation of these questions, but you can also create and edit these templates yourself.

To find the question templates section, click on settings icon and click Screener Question Templates under Templates.

You'll be taken to a list of all existing Question Templates. Here you can edit an existing template or create a new one. To edit an existing template, click on its title. To create a new template, click the Create Template button.

There are two types of Screening Question Templates -- First Stage and Second Stage. The Interview Guide pertains to an additional feature in Apploi.

First Stage screening questions are added to the initial application process. For example, if a candidate is applying to your job on Indeed, they will add their name, email, phone number, and resume, and then will be prompted to answer your screening questions before submitting the application. First stage screening questions are typically used if you only have a handful of questions that you would like to ask applicants upon applying, or if they are requirements for the position.

Second Stage screening questions are set up as a separate template to be completed by the applicant after they initially apply. Second Stage screening questions are typically set up in place of a paper HR Application or as a longer list of screening questions. These can either be sent out automatically or manually to applicants through the "Sent Application - Invite to HR Application" email template. If you would like to have these sent out automatically after the candidate applies, select "Automatically when Applicant completes quick apply" under the When to Send column. If you would like these to be sent out manually, select "Manually." How to create an email/text template to send out Second Stage Screening Questions
