We need to add a drop-down menu for available positions and checkboxes for required skills. Then, we can set up conditional logic based on the candidate's selection in the available positions drop-down menu.
To create a “What position are you applying for” field, simply click on the “Drop-down menu” on the left side.
Then, you can drag and drop the new drop-down field above the “How did you discover this location?” field to keep everything organized.
Then, click on the drop-down field to edit its details. The “Field Options” tab will open. Here you can change the following:
Label. It’s like a name. Instead of “Dropdown Menu,” you can change it to “What position are you spain telemarketing data applying for?”
Choices. In this field, simply type the available positions. For example, we will use “Software Developer ” and “Graphic Designer”. You can enter as many positions as you want.
Description. If necessary, you can provide a short description of the field. It will then be displayed just below the drop-down menu.
