Adding questions to a requisition

Recruiters can define and add questions to a job requisition.

Optionally, job postings from external job boards are sent to Indeed.

Before all active requisition questions for external candidates or for both internal and external candidates are sent, administrators must configure and recruiter administrators must enable the Indeed ATS Sync integration in Talent Acquisition.

See Indeed ATS Sync setup.

All active requisition questions that meet these requirements are sent to Indeed for the candidate to answer during the application process:
  • For external candidates
  • For both internal and external candidates

If a requisition question in active status is required in Talent Acquisition, then the requisition question is required in Indeed.
