Job Application Surveys

Job application surveys are great for screening candidates

Hiring in today’s economy can be overwhelming. With such a large pool of job seekers out there, the variety and sheer number of applications for any one job opening creates a significant amount of work. One recommended solution is to screen candidates using job application surveys. You will be able to leverage the same online survey tool you use to create employee surveys, and turn it into an automated staffing assistant.

Creating a job application survey is an efficient way to sort through resumes. Identify the key attributes you are looking for in your final candidates—years of experience, degree, management skills, etc.—and turn them into job application survey questions. Simply post your survey link to the job description online and watch as the applications roll in through your survey. You will then be able to create filters that will yield a final list of applicants based on who meets your criteria. Match that list back up to your pile of resumes and start reading—problem solved!
