When conducting assessments, it’s important to gather relevant information about your candidates to make better-informed decisions. In Testlify, you can easily customize the candidate information collection process to suit your hiring needs. This guide will walk you through how to capture additional candidate details beyond the basic fields such as email and phone number. You can add fields for resumes, educational documents, or even specific URLs like LinkedIn profiles to streamline your hiring process.
Steps to Capture Additional Candidate Information:
Go to Assessment Settings: Begin by navigating to the settings of the assessment where you want to capture additional information.
Click on the Information Tab: In the "Information" tab, you’ll find email as a mandatory field by default. Additional fields for First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number are also available, and you can choose to make them optional or mandatory based on your requirements.
Add More Fields: To capture more information, click the "Add" button. You can create custom fields for collecting specific data such as educational documents, resumes, LinkedIn profiles, or any other relevant details.
Select Input Type: You can choose from various input types depending on the information you wish to collect:
Text: For open-ended responses.
Dropdown: To provide predefined options.
Number: For numerical inputs.
Email: For email addresses.
URL: For web links like LinkedIn or personal websites.
File Upload: For uploading documents such as resumes or certificates.
Mark Fields as Required: If certain information is critical for your assessment process, you can mark the fields as required to ensure candidates provide that data before submitting their assessments.
This flexibility allows you to tailor the candidate information collection to meet your hiring needs effectively.
