A cleaner candidate intake
Email attachments lack structure. A CV submission form keeps role, contact details, availability, links, and screening answers beside every file.
Required contact, role, and CV fields reduce the follow-up needed before a recruiter can begin reviewing an application.
Use conditional sections to show each role's relevant screening questions without burdening every candidate.
Send submissions to the relevant hiring owner based on role, department, location, or candidate type instead of forwarding inbox threads.
Adaptable recruiting workflows
Generate the closest version, then edit its roles, questions, upload instructions, and confirmation.
Collect applications across several departments with a single role selector and conditional questions for each opening.
Capture preferred functions, locations, work arrangements, notice periods, and salary expectations.
Capture education, graduation timing, project experience, program preference, and interview availability in a consistent format.
Pair a CV with portfolio URLs, work samples, discipline, availability, time zone, and compensation expectations.
Build your application flow
Start with the role and review process, then generate a structured candidate intake that your team can adjust before publishing.
Specify one vacancy, several roles, or a talent pool, plus relevant locations and candidate groups.
Choose contact fields, file formats, roles, portfolio links, availability, and useful screening questions.
Edit labels, remove duplicate requests, add upload guidance, and explain what follows submission.
Share a link or embed the form, then connect the recruiters' review and follow-up flow.
Form vs email vs generic application
The best route depends on how many roles you advertise and how much structured information the hiring team needs before screening.
Field guide
Collect only what recruiters need to identify, route, and assess each application.
Candidate identity
Start with a full name and reliable contact channels. Location or time zone helps coordinate interviews for distributed roles.
Role preference
A structured role selection gives every application an owner. Add department, location, or seniority when those choices affect routing.
CV upload
State accepted file formats clearly. Keep an optional cover letter separate so candidates know what is required.
Professional links
Dedicated URL fields are easier to review than links in long answers. Request only role-relevant work.
Screening details
Ask focused questions about experience, qualifications, or availability. Conditional logic limits specialized questions to relevant candidates.
Submission clarity
Confirm receipt and explain the next step. Keep timing language accurate for your hiring team.
