When a visitor is ready to apply for one of your jobs, they will click the apply button and be taken to the Application form of the job posting. This is the perfect place for you to collect the information needed for the initial reviewing but you still want to make this a smooth and easy experience for your candidates. So, let’s take a closer look at the Application form.

The application page inherits the design from the rest of your career site, ensuring a unified look for your visitors. The base uses your secondary- and content color combination that already exists. Inputs are always white with a strong contrasting text color. If you use full cover in the job ad we inherit it to the form, extra neat for candidates arriving straight to it.

The background of the application form comes from your Secondary background color, and the content (basically every text of the form) comes from your Content color.

To make this super simple for you, you see a preview of this combination right in the tool when you’re working with the color settings of your career site. The application form uses the combinations displayed in the second example.

The inputs, meaning the fields where your candidates give you their answers, are always displayed in white.

What if I want to use white as my secondary background? you might ask yourself. Well no worries, we’ve got you covered! The application page will automatically get a darker color, so your inputs are still the main event of the page.

Let’s take a closer look at the questions your candidate answers, these are divided into Application questions and Personal information. Both sections are managed in the job creation/editing flow under the step Application.

The application questions are added/edited under the section for Questions when you set up your job.

After your candidate answers the job’s specific questions, it’s time to fill out their personal information. Under the Application stage→Personal info when you set up your job posting, you also decide what personal information to ask your candidate to leave.

You have the option of enabling the Add-on feature called Additional candidate information and allowing your candidates to ask themselves questions. Learn more about this feature here.

Depending on your account settings, your candidates have the option of using their email or their Facebook/LinkedIn profile when submitting their application. If you wish to disable/enable any of the social options, head over to Settings→Apply with.

When your candidate is done with their application, the only thing left is to click submit it. By doing so, they land on your career site’s Thank you page.

In this stage, the application has already ended up in the job’s recruitment process. Your candidate will now also have the option to Connect with your company, as well as at recommenders linked to their candidate profile.

Let’s celebrate with the candidate and enable a confetti rain after the application is successfully submitted. You enable/disable this by heading over to your career site’s Global design and going to the section for Confetti animation 🎉
