Since the type of university degree and some certifications are not screened during the inspira eligibility screening process, a custom question may highlight this credential upfront, making screening easier. Including this type of question in the JFQ also gives the candidate an opportunity to explain how their degree or certification is either “related” or “equivalent” to the degree or certification requested in the job opening. Finally, the question may also ask the candidate to attach evidence of the credentials to the application. Here are some examples:

A certification in foreign languages with an emphasis on translations is desirable. Do you have such a certification? (If yes, please include where you obtained it, the validity period and attach a copy of your certification to this application.)

This position requires a university degree in law. Do you have a law degree?

A Certification in Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) or equivalent is desirable. Do you have such a certification? (If yes, please attach a copy of your certification to this application.)

A valid Procurement certification, such as UK CIPS (at least level 3), US ISM CPM, CPSM or equivalent is desirable. Do you have such a certification? (If yes, please attach a copy of your certification to this application.)
