Frequently Asked Questions

Will more questions on the application scare drivers off?

That's exactly why DriverHub recommends no more than 5 qualification questions per role. Five questions takes a driver under 90 seconds to answer. The recruiters using Qualification Questions aren't seeing fewer applicants — they're seeing fewer wasted hours. When a driver takes 45 seconds to tell you they don't have the CDL-A you need, that's not friction. That's the 40-minute phone screen you just eliminated.

Can I customize how the questions are worded?

Yes. Every question in your active list has a custom phrasing field. You can reword each question to match your company's voice without changing its underlying data function. DriverHub keeps the original question meaning visible below your custom text so nothing gets lost in translation.

Can I use different questions for different positions?

Yes. Your master question list applies to all positions by default. For any individual position — a Mechanic role, a Dispatcher opening — navigate to that position's profile and toggle off the questions that don't apply. Changes go live on your landing page immediately.

Where do the answers go after a driver applies?

Two places. First, they appear as columns in your Candidate Browser — so you can see all applicants' answers at a glance without opening individual profiles. Second, they live permanently under the Qualifications tab on each candidate's profile, date-stamped and organized by question.

How long does setup take?

Under 10 minutes for most teams. Navigate to Configuration → Jobs Board Landing Pages → Qualification Questions, drag your questions into the active list, customize phrasing if needed, and publish. No developer or IT involvement required.
