2. Click Add form
3. Add questions:

• Rating scales (1-5, 1-10)
• Multiple choice
• Text fields for comments
• Yes/No questions

4. Name the form
5. Save

Example questions

Technical interview form

• "Rate technical problem-solving ability (1-5)"
• "Rate code quality and best practices (1-5)"
• "What technical strengths did you observe?"
• "What concerns do you have?"
• "Recommend for hire? (Yes/No/Maybe)"

Culture interview form

• "Rate communication skills (1-5)"
• "Rate cultural fit (1-5)"
• "How well do they align with company values?"
• "Would you enjoy working with this person?"
• "Overall recommendation"

Assigning forms to jobs

1. Open a job
2. Go to any candidate's profile
3. Go to Evaluation tab
4. Click Assign Evaluation Forms
5. Select forms to use for this job
