Additional Questions for Job Postings in Core HR

The "Additional Questions" tab of the job creation process allows you to enter any job-specific question that will be associated with the individual job posting. Any additional questions created under the "Advanced Settings" menu will be automatically added to each job post unless marked otherwise in the properties of the question.

Additional questions can also be added to each job posting to ask questions that are job-specific. Any questions created within the job post will not be seen in any other job postings.
