Employees often have the potential to make or break your business e.g. one employee who always yells and shouts at customers can result in a bundle of bad reviews and put a serious dent in your reputation. Hence, a good screening process needs to be in place.

When asking for personal information, depending on your business, you might want to be interested in their history with the law. Have they been convicted of any crimes or pleaded ‘no contest’ to a felony? If you’re hiring bank clerks you’d want to know if you’re hiring an ex-bank robber…

Do they possess the proper documents to be employed in your country? Hiring illegals can result in serious penalties if tax services find out. Whether you knew it or not, it is your responsibility to know this information.

To use this sample Job Application Template sign up for Survey Anyplace , and choose ‘Job Application’ as template when creating a new survey.

As can be seen in the above sample, the Job Application should at least include the following information:

• Personal details such as name, contact information, address, medical information etc…
• Desired position
• Availability
• Sleek, professional design

It is important that the applicant information can be communicated efficiently with the human resources department within the organisation: our tool offers the option to intelligently integrate your Job Application Form with Zapier, an app which automates traffic between platforms and apps. This, without a doubt, will increase recruitment efficiency and communication.

Collecting job applications through paper forms, pdf or word documents is also possible but has the disadvantage that the data still needs to be transferred to a central system as a separate action, which makes it error-prone and inefficient.
