How to Customize a Generic Employment Application Form
Instead of starting with a blank template, it is better to use the AidaForm standard job application template with all basic fields and questions already included. By clicking the Use This Template button, you can add this AidaForm general job application sample to your account and start editing the template immediately. Depending on the open position, required qualifications, and other criteria, you may need to rearrange and add some fields to the general employment application template.
First, look at the contents of the generic job application template. If it already has all the information you need to collect from applicants, all that’s left is a bit of personalization: add the name of your company, your logo and contact details. If there are some specific questions that you want your candidates to answer, make sure to include them in your generic job application form now.
Using the drag and drop function in the AidaForm Builder, add different types of fields to get the desired result: in addition to the standard Dropdown, Multiple Choice, and Text fields, you can use the Matrix field to assess candidates’ soft and hard skills. When the information is structured this way, it’s easy to compare candidates based on those skills. Give applicants the option to add a link to their LinkedIn profile, not just attach their resume. Go all out with your standard job application form as much as your business needs.
Make the generic employment application form convenient for candidates to fill out and set up instant response notifications for your recruiting team.
- To prevent candidates from answering superfluous questions, for instance, about their previous workplaces if they answered that they have no job experience, you can configure logic jumps between questions. With logic jumps, you can create a single form for multiple positions: ask marketers questions about their knowledge of product promotion and allow designers to upload their portfolios.
- To instantly receive notifications about submitted job applications, go to Set Up > Email Notifications and specify the email addresses of recruitment specialists who are going to receive new notifications.
- Don’t forget to change the status of the form to On in the Publish section and copy the link to the standard job application form to send it via email or post on the website.
