Practical answers for hiring managers creating a consistent first-stage application.
Collect contact information, resume, portfolio or samples, platform experience, tools, channel responsibilities, one campaign example, community-management judgment, availability, and compensation expectations. Tailor the questions to the work in your job description rather than asking every possible social media question.
Offer a portfolio URL plus optional file uploads or individual links. Explain which formats you can review and let candidates describe confidential work they cannot share. For selected examples, ask what the candidate personally owned so reviewers do not mistake a team result for individual authorship.
Ask for one campaign's objective, audience, candidate contribution, content and distribution choice, primary metric, result, and lesson. Keep the response bounded. A first-stage application should reveal experience and thinking without asking candidates to create a full strategy for your company.
Yes. Add file upload fields for resumes and approved sample formats, alongside URL fields for portfolios, social posts, videos, or case studies. Label required and optional evidence clearly so candidates know what they need before starting.
Yes. Use conditional logic so paid-social follow-ups appear when someone selects paid campaign experience, while community or organic questions follow their respective selections. This keeps the form shorter and makes each response more relevant to the claimed experience.
Ask every applicant the same core questions and define a review rubric before reading submissions. Compare evidence tied to the role: channel ownership, quality of relevant samples, campaign reasoning, measurement habits, community judgment, and practical availability. Avoid relying on follower counts without context.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting responses. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Completed forms arrive in your Makeform submissions inbox. You can also route application details into tools such as Google Sheets, Slack, or connected workflows through Zapier, depending on how your hiring team reviews and coordinates candidates.
