This is a paid feature and must be enabled separately. Please contact your Customer Success Manager or support via email to activate it.

Video questions for the application form

Once the feature is enabled you can create your desired questions from the application form step when creating a new job ad:

  1. Go to Position → Details → Application form

  2. Click “Add video questions”

  3. You will be taken to the video question editor

Press the add video questions and you will be taken to this view where you can add:

  • Question title (what the candidate sees)

  • Mandatory / optional

  • Maximum recording time

  • Optional: Record your own video intro

    • Adds a more personal touch

    • Not required

❗ Direct video uploads from your computer are not supported (you must record inside the tool)

Use Pre-recorded Video Questions (Media Library)

This helps you standardize questions and save time when creating new job ads.
