Symptom

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Resolution

As of now, there isn't a standard token for the candidate's answer. If you add the questionResponse field from the application, that stores the candidate's answer for the pre-screening questions, as a Custom Token to the backend of the system, it will populate into the instance, and then add it to an email template, the token will populate as an XML rather than the answer. It will contain the question type, the question itself, question answer, and the question expected answer. Please check the screenshot so you have as reference. Hence, this is currently not supported. The only way to obtain the candidate's answer, apart from the application page, of a pre-screening question would be to report using Integration Center, as described in this KBA: 2411634 - How to Generate A Report on Precreening Questions - Recruiting Management.
