When is the best time to survey new employees? The answer may surprise you.  

employee-screening-pre-employmentYou may think that you need to give employees at least a few months to get acclimated to their new position, job environment, and get a feel for office dynamics within your company. However, there is no better time to survey new employees than from the very beginning. Or better yet, survey potential hires during the hiring process with a pre-employment survey.

It may seem odd to survey interviewees during the hiring process, but from the start, it is important for your business to:

  1. Show potential employees that your company cares about the continued success of the business and its employees, and
  2. Gauge how a potential new hire will react to your company’s work environment and how they will adapt to the work culture.

Combine Multiple Choice and Comment Survey Questions into a Grid

Create a grid question with both multi-choice and open comment survey questions

If you are creating an online survey, it is usually best to use dynamic text substitution and routing to adapt your questions to your respondents’ answers. This also means that you can have more flexibility with the width of survey layouts, so they can be used with mobile surveys to optimize the viewable space on mobile devices as well as viewable space on kiosks and computers screens. However, if you are creating a survey that is used both online and on paper, you may wish to combine grid questions in a different way.

Snap Survey Software cannot assume what size screen or size paper you will be using to print your paper survey. Snap also can’t be sure whether questions are going to be visible, because you might add masking or routing, so questions will appear and disappear differently for diverse respondents. As a result, Snap uses percentages of the total area to properly layout your survey questions. This guarantees that the questions will fit in the layout and mode in which you administer your survey to respondents. Continue reading →
