# Screening Question Templates

Reuse your standard screening questions across multiple job postings to streamline your hiring process.

### **Overview**

**Screening Question Templates** in Discovered allow you to create, save, and reuse predefined sets of screening questions for your job postings. Instead of manually adding the same questions for every new role, you can build a reusable template that includes your most frequently asked screening questions—such as verifying experience, qualifications, or certifications.

This feature helps ensure consistency, saves time, and improves the efficiency of your candidate evaluation process. It’s ideal for teams that want to standardize screening criteria while maintaining flexibility to adjust for each job.

## **Why This Matters**

Screening Question Templates save recruiters time while ensuring that every job posting uses consistent, high-quality evaluation criteria. With reusable templates, you can:

-   Maintain consistent screening standards across all roles.
-   Ensure fair and structured evaluation for all applicants.
-   Minimize manual setup for each new job posting.
-   Quickly update or refine screening questions across multiple roles.

## **Use Cases**

-   **Recruiters:** Reuse core questions to verify experience or skills across similar job types.
-   **Hiring Managers:** Standardize initial candidate screening for consistency and fairness.
-   **Agencies:** Apply uniform questions across clients for efficiency and quality assurance.
-   **Teams:** Build role-specific question sets (e.g., Sales, Engineering, or Customer Success) for faster posting creation.

## **Best Practices**

-   Use clear, concise wording for each question to avoid confusion.
-   Create different templates for different departments or job levels.
-   Regularly review templates to ensure they align with current hiring needs.
-   Double-check question types and answer options for accuracy.
-   Test new templates by applying them to a few job postings before company-wide rollout.

## **What Happens Next**

Once your Screening Question Template is created:

-   It becomes available under **Templates → Screening Question Templates** for reuse.
-   You can edit or delete templates anytime.
-   Templates can be applied to new or existing job postings with just a few clicks.
-   Screening questions appear automatically in the candidate application form once applied.

By using Screening Question Templates, your team can streamline repetitive setup tasks, maintain consistency across roles, and focus on evaluating candidates rather than managing forms.
