AidaForm Tips: Five Features of a Strong Application Form

Keep it Short

Sure, this might seem obvious—but creating a truly minimalistic form is harder than it looks. Here’s a practical tip: examine every question, field, and word on your form and ask yourself, “Can I remove this without losing value?” If the answer is yes, then it probably doesn’t belong!

Match Your Brand

Remember, it’s not just applicants trying to leave a good impression—your form represents your organization too. Make sure your online application reflects your branding: clean, professional, and consistent with your visual identity. Don’t forget about basics like colors, fonts, logos, and links back to your website.

Make It Mobile-Friendly

With the vast majority of web traffic now coming from mobile devices, it’s crucial your form performs well on phones and tablets. Test it on different screens and ensure it’s easy to navigate and fill out. The easier it is to submit on the spot, the less likely applicants are to abandon it.

Add a Bit of Fun

Let’s face it—application forms can be tedious. But they don’t have to be. Make your form engaging to complete by:

  • Using visuals like images, videos, or audio with fields such as Media File, Picture Choice, and Cards.
  • Creating an interactive flow with our Conversational UI, where each question appears on its own screen.
  • Asking thoughtful, creative questions—ones you’d ask in a real conversation, instead of sticking to generic form fields.

Be Clear and Transparent

Applicants should always feel guided and informed throughout the process. Make sure your form includes:

  • An estimate of how long it will take to complete.
  • Page or question numbers to show progress and how much is left.
  • A friendly confirmation message after submission, including a thank-you and next steps. Explore our ‘Thank You’ Page Templates for inspiration.
Now you’re fully equipped—with customizable application templates, a powerful editing tool, and helpful tips to build better forms. Best of luck! A well-crafted form is the first step in attracting great candidates.
