"Cover Letter" job-customizable instruction area - Not only would I like to require a cover letter, I'd like to be able to add a job-customized request for that cover letter.  For example:  "Tell us why you are interested in LiveRamp specifically.  Include a portfolio link and/or your open source community links.  Include a code sample or work snapshots"

    Hi all,

    Just an update regarding custom questions in JobScore: Good News!

    We have recently opened a beta that allows you to insert custom questions into job applications!

    any interest in pursuing this idea?  I am hoping it is simple to deliver, but possible to have great impact in filtering candidates.

    Hi Val,

    Most of our customers just include these "include this in your cover letter" instructions in their job description.

    If you want them to include other stuff (code samples, work snapshots) they typically recommend folks to load them up online somewhere (dropbox, box) and include links to the assets (which are clickable from html cover letters.

    Adding custom questions (for us "job application logic") is on the roadmap, but for your specific cover letter request just adding it to the description has worked great for most folks.

    The ability to require a cover letter has been captured in our job application customization update.

    The other suggestions here are really about adding additional custom questions, which is also captured and in development.

    When you say that it has been captured in your job application customization update, what does this mean in terms of when it will be available to use?

    Is there any update as to how I can add this job application customization for requiring a cover letter?
