Video: Assign Scores to Questionnaire Responses

Video Overview

This video shows how to assign scores to questionnaire responses. Assigning scores to questionnaire responses helps recruiters evaluate candidates.

Script

We start with the legal work eligibility question, adding scores to filter out those who are legally ineligible to work in the country.
We access the
Configure Questionnaire
task and select our existing Basic Screening questionnaire.
We start with the legal work eligibility question, adding scores to filter out those who are legally ineligible to work in the country.
For the desired response,
Yes
, we input a score of 100 points. We leave the
No
response with zero points.
Next, we assign scoring to our weekly work hours question. We're looking for candidates with a lot of availability, so we give higher scores for higher work hours.
Configuring scores enables Workday to automatically calculate the total score for every application.
In a later video, we'll show you how recruiters can sort applications by questionnaire score to find the best candidates.
