Video: Create a Questionnaire

Video Overview

This video shows how to create a questionnaire that will be included in a job application. The questionnaire will be used to gather information from job applicants.

Script

In this video, we're going to show how to create a new recruiting questionnaire in Workday to capture basic screening details from job applicants.
We are logged in as a recruiter authorized to create questionnaires. We start by accessing the
Create Questionnaire
task.
We name our questionnaire
Basic Screening
and set the type to
Recruiting
. This questionnaire will be deployed at the screen stage of the job application process, so that only eligible candidates are progressed to the next stage.
We now add questions to our questionnaire. We need to create 2 simple questions to begin screening candidates.
Our first question,
Legal Work Eligibility
, ensures candidates are eligible to work in our region. We provide simple
Yes
or
No
options and save the new question.
We mark the question as
Required
to ensure every applicant provides an answer.
Our next question,
Working Hours
, helps capture candidates' availability for work. We provide 3 ranges to choose from.
We also mark this question as
Required
.
The completed questionnaire can now be linked to any job requisition.
You can select
Preview Questionnaire
to see how the questionnaire will display to applicants.
