Building an application form

Sections, question types, and the fact that saving goes live immediately.

Written by Maciej Michalewski

The application form is the questionnaire a candidate fills in. Each project has its own single form — you build it in the Form tab of project settings.

How it works

The question type palette is on the left, the form preview on the right. You add a question by dragging a tile from the palette into a section.

Three blocks are fixed and always at the top: candidate details, contact and CV. The rest are your questions, grouped into sections.

Question types

  • Yes / No — the simplest, and the best suited to preselection.

  • Open question — free text.

  • One answer and multiple answers — choice lists.

  • Rating — a numeric score.

  • Week days and calendar days — availability.

  • File — an extra document besides the CV.

  • Recommending person — for the referral programme.

Saving goes live immediately

The form has no draft state. Clicking save changes the form candidates are seeing right now. If a recruitment is already running, make changes deliberately — people who applied earlier answered the previous version of the questions.

Several languages

A form can have versions in several languages. The language switch is at the top of the builder; you translate each question separately.

You add another language with the + button next to the language name. Clicking a language name switches the version you are editing.
