You create a questionnaire as part of the job posting process. To create a questionnaire, click Add a Questionnaire when you get to the Apply Process page. If you have existing questionnaire templates, you can choose one as the basis for your new questionnaire, or you can create a new questionnaire. (For more information on questionnaire templates, see How do I create a questionnaire template?) Click Create New Questionnaire, and you'll be taken to the New Questionnaire entry form.
Name your questionnaire and enter the instructions that the user will see when they open the questionnaire. Click Add New Question to begin adding questions. Click the radio button for the type of questionnaire you want: multiple choice, select all that apply, yes/no, true/false, or write-in. Enter the question in the text box and specify the correct answer(s), depending on your question type.
Multiple choice questions require you to supply several choices but specify only one correct answer.
Select all that apply questions also require several choices, but more than one correct answer can be specified. (The job-seeker will receive a correct score only if ALL of the correct answers are specified.)
Yes/no questions must be phrased as questions, in such a way that the job-seeker can only answer yes or no.
True/false questions must be phrased as statements about which the job-seeker can only answer that they are either true or false.
Write-ins give you a chance to see how job-seekers express themselves in writing, and have no scores attached to them. The job-seeker must enter something in the text box, but there is no data checking done by Yahoo! HotJobs on write-in answers.
Click Add Question when you are finished.
You can enter different types of questions on the same questionnaire. You can view your developing questionnaire on the Edit Questionnaire page after adding each question. On the Edit Questionnaire page you can edit or delete any question, or rearrange the sequence of questions by clicking Move Up or Move Down next to each question. When you've finished entering all your questions, assign a percentage value to each one and click Calculate Total; the total must equal 100%. If you prefer, click Distribute Scores Equally and all questions (except write-ins) will receive an equal value out of 100%. Click Continue to review your questionnaire as it will appear to the job-seeker. You can edit the questionnaire, save it, and optionally save it as a template, for reuse with another job. After you save a questionnaire, you'll be returned to the Apply Process page and can choose whether or not you want to view resumes of candidates who score below your passing level.
