Exploring Job Questions

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a Job Question in SAP Fieldglass.

Job Questions

When enabled in the company configuration, Job Questions can appear on Job Postings to help hiring managers gauge whether job candidates conform to certain requirements. Whereas Qualifications gauge the ability of a worker to perform specific job-related skills, job questions can be open-ended and help define a broader set of criteria, such as whether a job candidate requires regional work authorizations or has an advanced degree.

They are customized by the buyer and are intended for workers to answer, which also makes them distinct from the questions used in Wizards and Decision Forms.

The types of questions that can be added are:

5-Point Rating: Indicate experience on a 1 to 5 scale.
Text: Add text into a single-line textbox.
Text Area: Enter text into an expandable textbox.
User Defined Pick List: Select an option from a predefined dropdown menu.
Yes/No: Indicate yes or no by selecting the relevant radio button.
Yes/No Text Area: Indicate yes or no by selecting the relevant radio button, then provide additional details in an expandable textbox.

Job Questions are only available when the 'Recruiter Toolbox for Direct Hire' and 'Temp type of Job Posting/Position' are selected on the Company Configuration.

Navigating the Job Questions Admin Object

Worker section of the Admin Menu, the Job Question selection is highlighted.

1	To view a list of job questions associated to the tenant, select Job Question within the Worker section of the admin menu.

Job Questions List page

The job question list, however, is just an ungrouped pool of questions. They cannot be added directly to Job Postings. They must be collected into job question checklists before they can be added to job posting templates.

2	Job Question columns displays the text of the question. This is the text that would display to job candidates if it was used on a Job Posting.
3	Mandatory indicates that a job candidate would have to answer any questions that are set to Yes.
4	The Answer Type column will indicate the specific type of answer a question requires, such as Yes or No, a 5-point rating, a picklist, or text input.
5	To view the details of a question, select an appropriate link in the Job Question column.

Job Question Details page

The details page displays the same data visible on the list view.

6	The Pick List Items section only appears if the answer type is a User Defined Pick List. These answers are defined when creating/editing the job question.

Create a Job Question

When filling positions on her network engineering team, Mavis, the manager of network engineering for WorkingNet Networking, Inc., a global manufacturer of data networking equipment, would like candidates to list their skills in various aspects of network design.

She has provided you with a number of questions to add to network engineering job postings.

Before you can do that, though, you’ll first need to create the Job Questions themselves.
