Better salon screening
A focused application helps you compare candidates on the work they can perform and the hours your salon actually needs covered.
Use checkboxes for facials, waxing, brows, nails, makeup, or your own menu, then ask which treatments candidates perform without supervision.
Collect recurring availability by day and shift, plus earliest start date and desired hours, instead of decoding schedules buried in cover letters.
Consistent questions make work history, portfolios, client service, references, and schedule constraints easier to review side by side.
Adapt to the vacancy
Change the prompt to match your service menu, experience level, employment arrangement, and hardest-to-cover shifts.
Prioritize independent service delivery, consultation habits, rebooking experience, and mentoring newer team members.
Focus on completed training, practiced treatments, learning goals, supervision needs, and attendance for development shifts.
Ask about treatment protocols, client consultations, product knowledge, aftercare, and experience in a calm service environment.
Make recurring evening or weekend availability explicit and reveal conflicts through conditional follow-up questions.
Application workflow
Give Makeform the details that separate a promising beautician from someone who cannot cover the role you are filling.
Name the services, experience level, weekly hours, required shifts, and relevant credentials.
Use your treatment menu, require essential questions, and add follow-ups for gaps or unavailable shifts.
Publish a link with the vacancy or embed it on your careers page.
Notify the reviewer, tag promising candidates, and move details into your hiring workflow.
