Edit or Add Fields and Questions
Each element of your form is editable. Using the user-friendly Form Builder interface, you can easily change the text of the questions, add necessary fields, change the settings, etc.
Depending on your goals, you may wish to have a minimalistic form or something more detailed. Besides the standard fillable fields like name, address, current job and experience, here are some ideas for customizing your template:
- Add the File Upload field to collect CVs.
- Use our innovative Media Answer feature to allow applicants to record an introduction video or video cover letter.
- You can even add a legal checkbox to get permission for a background check.
Customize the Design of Your Form Template
Hiring is a two-way process! You need to make a good impression — it is just as important to show you that you have the right knowledge and experience as it is for candidates.
Open the Form Designer menu and change colors, fonts and button shape. Add your logo or pictures using the Media File field. The sample form you have chosen becomes unique after a couple of clicks without any complicated HTML coding.
Make Your Form Public and Share it
Once your form is ready, go to the Publish tab. Publish the form by switching the corresponding toggle to the On position.
Now it’s time to bring an audience to the form page:
- Copy the Link to the form web page to add it to your website, social media posts or newsletter.
- Use the Embed on a web page option if you want to get the form code and add it to your website
Pro Tips for Your Employment Application Form Template
Keep it short
Try to only ask the questions that you really need to attract quality candidates. For example, it can be of great importance that your candidates already have their work permit for the country of application. But information concerning educational achievements is usually covered in the CV, so there is often not much sense asking for the information in the work application form.
Use ‘knockout’ questions to save time
Add a question regarding salary expectations and ‘knockout’ questions to draw your applicant’s attention to some important job requirements. For example, if you are looking for a marketing manager to work in the German-speaking market, you can ask: This position requires that the applicant has German language skills not lower than the C2 level. Do you meet this requirement?
Be creative and friendly
Boring forms are a thing of the past. Ask original questions like: ’What’s your top way to keep up to date with online marketing?’ or ’What result are you most proud of?’ Use the language and style that best suits your candidates and your company.
Test the layout of your form on mobile devices
Check how your form is displayed and works on mobile devices. Up to 90 percent of all job searches are completed on mobile devices, so let your prospective applicants complete your form right away. AidaForm has done the bulk of the work for you: all fields and elements of the form automatically adapt to the applicant’s screen size.
Be sure to check the conversion rate
To check if your form converts viewers into applicants, the AidaForm service provides statistics on how many people viewed it on PCs and mobile devices and how many of the viewers finally sent their completed form for your examination. The statistics help to understand if your form has a good conversion rate or should be worked on.
