Please note that it's not possible to trigger surveys for when a candidate moves from a stage to another in the recruitment process. Please check this FAQ article to learn why.

  1. Conditions
    In the trigger step you can also add extra conditions (e.g. Brand, Department, Hiring Process type) to specify when the workflow can continue. Add more conditions by selecting the '+' button.
