Exact Extract Explanation:
In Oracle Recruiting Cloud, disqualification questions filter out unsuitable candidates early in the
process. This task requires:
Active Status: Ensures immediate usability.
Single Choice: Limits to one answer (Yes/No).
Scored: Assigns a score (Yes = 10) for evaluation.
Disqualification: "No" eliminates candidates lacking Accounting experience.
External Candidates: Targets only external applicants.
Accounting Job Family: Restricts usage to relevant jobs.
The Yes/No rating model with a Yes score of 10 is configured via the rating model setup, and the
question is tied to the Accounting job family through context settings. The Manage Questions task in
the Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management work area is the central hub for this
configuration, with testing conducted via a sample requisition. Reference: Oracle Recruiting Cloud
