![image6-1](https://kb.zookeep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SS%20for%20Knowledge%20Base/%E3%83%91%E3%82%A4%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%EF%BC%86%E9%9D%A2%E6%8E%A5%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8B%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F,%E5%9B%9E%E7%AD%94%E3%82%92%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B/image6-1.png?width=670&height=375&name=image6-1.png)

![image7-1](https://kb.zookeep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SS%20for%20Knowledge%20Base/%E3%83%91%E3%82%A4%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%EF%BC%86%E9%9D%A2%E6%8E%A5%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8B%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F,%E5%9B%9E%E7%AD%94%E3%82%92%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B/image7-1.png?width=670&height=386&name=image7-1.png)

💡 You can register as many screening questions as needed, but having too many may burden applicants. We recommend setting around **3 to 7 questions**.

### **＜Editing Pre-Screening Questions＞**

- - If you want to change the screening questions set for a Job, do so in the [Job’s edit screen](https://kb.zookeep.com/en-us/edit-a-job?hsLang=en-us).
      
      ![image8-1](https://kb.zookeep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SS%20for%20Knowledge%20Base/%E3%83%91%E3%82%A4%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%EF%BC%86%E9%9D%A2%E6%8E%A5%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8B%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F,%E5%9B%9E%E7%AD%94%E3%82%92%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B/image8-1.png?width=670&height=156&name=image8-1.png)
    - You can also edit them by going to **Job Templates** > **Pre- Screening Questions**.
      
      ![image9-1](https://kb.zookeep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SS%20for%20Knowledge%20Base/%E3%83%91%E3%82%A4%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%EF%BC%86%E9%9D%A2%E6%8E%A5%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8B%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F,%E5%9B%9E%E7%AD%94%E3%82%92%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B/image9-1.png?width=670&height=346&name=image9-1.png)

💡For details on editing **Job Templates**, please refer to [this section](https://kb.zookeep.com/en-us/edit-job-templates?hsLang=en-us).

### **＜Reviewing Screening Question Responses＞**

When a candidate applies directly through the [Career Site](https://kb.zookeep.com/en-us/posting-jobs-on-the-career-site?hsLang=en-us) or a [private Job posting](https://kb.zookeep.com/en-us/share-a-private-job-with-candidates?hsLang=en-us), their responses to screening questions are automatically recorded. You can view these responses in the Job’s **Applications** tab by selecting the candidate and checking the **Screening** section under the **Entry Stage**.

![image10-1](https://kb.zookeep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SS%20for%20Knowledge%20Base/%E3%83%91%E3%82%A4%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%EF%BC%86%E9%9D%A2%E6%8E%A5%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8B%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E8%B3%AA%E5%95%8F,%E5%9B%9E%E7%AD%94%E3%82%92%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B/image10-1.png?width=670&height=356&name=image10-1.png)

### **＜Editing Screening Question Responses＞**

If you want to edit a candidate’s screening responses, go to the Job’s **Applications** tab, select the candidate, then in the **Screening Questions** section under the **Interviews Stage**, click the **…** menu and choose **Edit Answer**.
