When clients are choosing a freelancer for their job, they often have
specific screening questions to ask of their applicants. Well, now we
make this screening process easy!
Starting today, clients have the opportunity when posting a job to
create specific questions for all applicants to answer. Clients can
choose from a list of pre-generated questions, or they can create their
own - up to five total.
We have been testing this ability to add screening questions for a
while and we’ve found that by giving applicants specific questions to
answer, clients get better information about their applicants, they are
better able to compare applicants, and they fill more jobs.
If you’re a client posting a job,
you can insert screening questions to your job post in the “Applying to
Your Job” section. In this same section, you can now also require a
cover letter be submitted by applicants. Note - this feature will be
rolling out to clients over the next couple weeks. If you don't see it
yet - sit tight - it will be there soon!
If you’re a freelancer applying to a job and you’re asked to answer
screening questions, take some time to provide thoughtful responses.
Clients will be evaluating your application against others, and they are
more likely to respond to freelancers who provide specific answers
related to the posted job, and not cut and paste generic answers.
