Custom Questions

Custom Questions 

Available to Bundles 3 and 4

Custom questions are questions you create for your applicants to answer during the online application process. Whether you build a form for collecting the disclosure and authorization for the process of ordering a background check or are building a form not associated with ordering a background check, you can add custom questions (only Bundle 4 can create multiple forms).

When you send out the Online Consent Form link to your applicants, they will enter their personal information, answer your application questions, and give their consent to the background check, if required.
