Question Sets
Job Posting Question Sets are additional questions for applicants to complete when applying to a job posting (they appear after the applicant hits the "Apply" button).
Multiple field types can be used for answers: Check-boxes, radio buttons, drop-down lists, text boxes, dates, time, etc.
Answers can be viewed on job posting grids and they are a grouping of questions that can be used across multiple job postings.
