Free Job Application Form Template

How do I create a job application form?

You can easily create a job application form with our Form Designer. Grab our template or build an application from scratch using our no-code form builder, customize its fields, and publish it online.

What should I include in a job application form?

A basic job application form should contain the applicant’s full name, contact details, the role they are applying for employment, education, work experience history, a signature placeholder, and a placeholder to add the date. Collect the applicant’s name, contact information (email, phone), role, education, and work experience. Also, add an upload button that candidates can use to send their Word resumes and cover letters through the form. If you need it, you can also add an electronic signature. All of it is possible on 123FormBuilder.

Why do employers use application forms?

Employers use application forms because it’s the easiest way to collect and manage information about their applicants. Online forms are easy to fill in for candidates too, and recruiters find it easier to sift through multiple submissions as forms collect all the applications in one place.

Do online job applications work?

Of course, they do. Online job applications are the most common and efficient way to apply. They save everyone time, resources, and trees. 🌳

How long should a job application take to complete?

If you ask how long a job application should take in terms of process, it probably shouldn’t take more than two to four weeks. If you ask how long a candidate should take to apply for a job, we’d say about 30 minutes to one hour (and apparently, that’s what most people think).

Can employees fill out the job application on their computer?

Yes, our job application form and every template you can find on 123FormBuilder are fillable from any computer, smartphone, or tablet with an Internet connection.
