When you post a job, you can add a screening question to confirm a key requirement from applicants. Every job includes one screening question at no cost. For roles that require more detailed qualification, additional screening questions are included with job promotion alongside other advanced hiring features.

Screening questions are questions you add to a job to confirm key requirements (for example, work authorization, required certification, availability, or location) so you can quickly identify applicants who match your needs.
How many screening questions can I add to my job post for free?
