Recruiting - Question Library
The Recruiting “Question Library" allows you to create a library of application questions that can be added to job postings. For example, if each job you post as an employer you ask candidates to indicate their highest level of education, you can create this question in the “Question Library” and instead of typing that question out each time a new job is posted, the question can be selected from the library.
To access:
- Log in to BerniePortal as the employer or a Recruiting feature administrator
- Select "Recruiting" in the top navigation menu
- Select "Settings" in the secondary menu
- Select "Question Library" in the left hand menu

To add questions to the library:
- Enter the question in the '''Add a New Question" field, determine the Question Type, then select "Add."

- Available Question Types include
- Open Ended: Enable candidates to provide detailed, customized responses in their own words, allowing for comprehensive answers and additional context
- Yes or No: Offer a simple binary choice format where candidates can quickly select either "Yes" or "No" to respond to straightforward inquiries
- Yes or No (Knockout): Serve as screening filters that automatically disqualify candidates who don't meet essential requirements
- Like standard Yes/No questions, candidates select either "Yes" or "No," but responses that indicate missing critical qualifications will remove the candidate from consideration
- Use the action wheel beside a question to remove it, and use the three dots next to a question to re-order questions.
