# Job Opening Questions

For each job opening you can create a list of questions you’d like to ask the candidates.

You can create the list of questions for the job opening by navigating to the **Job Opening Questions** tab on the **Job Opening Details** of the given job opening.

1. Go to **Recruiting** > **Job Openings** and click the title of the job opening for which the questions are to be added to open the **Job Opening Details** page.![](assets/images/RecruitingPics/image035.png)![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673954930051.png)
2. Click **Add Question**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673954954740.png)

To edit an existing question, click Edit next to it. To remove a question you no longer need, click the trash can icon next to it, and then click **OK** to confirm deletion. Deleting a question also removes any candidate answers already submitted for it.

In the **Type of Answer** field, you can choose from the following options:

- **Single line of text**
- **Multiple lines of text**
- **Date**
- **Choice** - after selecting this answer type, additional fields will become available. Use the **Display Options as** field to define whether the choices will be displayed to the user as drop-down menu, radio buttons and check boxes. Also, you can set up the candidate status change depending on the selected answer. For example, if you require Master's degree in Economics for the job opening, the candidates who indicated this level of education will automatically change their status to **Shortlisted**. In the **Change Status To** field, select the status that will be automatically gained by the candidates who selected an answer specified in the field **If Answer is**.
- **Yes/No (Check box)** - after selecting this option, the **Change Status To** and **If Answer is** fields will display. Use them to set up the candidate automatic status change, if relevant.

Once a status has been selected in the **Change Status To** field for one question — whether a **Choice** or a **Yes/No** question — that same status is the only option available in the **Change Status To** field for any other question within the same job opening. This keeps the status assignment consistent across all questions, so the system always knows which single status to assign to the candidate.

3. The candidate's answers to the questions are entered manually on the **Candidate Tracking** page. To add the answers, select **Candidate Answers** from the **Actions** drop-down menu for the relevant candidate.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673955016731.png)

4. You can view or edit the answers using the step 3 above.

Please note that the answers to the vacancy questions are not included into the **Interview Details** form and will not be visible in the **Candidate History** on Candidate Card.

*Note**This functionality is best used from the online application form, where this list of questions forms the candidate’s questionnaire. Answers provided by the candidate on the web site are automatically populated together with other candidate’s data to the Candidate’s record in the Candidate Tracking. The online application form is installed and configured by Lanteria support engineers as a part of the Lanteria Recruiting module.*
