Symptom

Is it possible set Pre Screening Questions specifically for internal or external candidates?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

Cause

Resolution

As of now, the system doesn't allow to set specific pre-screening questions depending on the candidate type, and also if you apply the override setting to questionResponse field it will not work.

If you think this would be a good feature for SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management, please, submit your idea in our Influence page, where you can suggest new ideas and improvements to the SuccessFactors products.

However as workaround a different approach could be:
avoid the Pre Screening questions (questionResponse field) and instead setup multiple individual fields (text or picklist) where you ask your questions to the candidates.
And via override you can differentiate the visibility of the fields for external/internal candidates.
Important Note to consider: by applying this approach you will lose the benefit of the prescreening questions features as the auto-disqualification and the scoring can not longer be done.
