When a visitor is ready to apply for one of your job ads, they will click the apply button and be taken to the Application form of the job. 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.
Let’s take a closer look at the Application form.
Design
The application page inherits the design from the rest of your career site, ensuring a unified look for your visitors.
Color settings
The colors used on this page can be set up in the Global design settings in Content. The background of the application form comes from the Secondary background color, and the main text color comes from the Content color.
When setting them up you will find a preview displaying how the colors will be used. For the application form, it will use the combination displayed in the second example.
Color of inputs
The input fields, where candidates provide their answers, are always displayed in white.
If you use white as your secondary background the application page will automatically get a darker color, so your inputs are still displayed clearly.
Application form
An application is divided into questions and personal information, both of which are managed within the job creation/editing mode under the Application step.
Questions
The application questions are added/edited under the section for Questions in the job editing mode.
💡 Pro tip: Improve the candidate experience by adding questions that require a yes as an answer to complete the application. More info here: Add qualifying questions to your application form
Personal information
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.
Additional candidate information
You also have the option of enabling the add-on feature called Additional candidate information which allows your candidates to personalize their application. Learn more about this feature here.
Apply with social profiles or email
Depending on your account settings, your candidates have the option of using their social profile when submitting their application. To enable/disable any of the options, head over to Settings → Recruitment → Apply with.
Unbiest recruitment
Thank you page
When your candidate has submitted their application they land on your career site’s Thank you for applying 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 add Recommendations linked to their candidate profile.
Confetti
Let’s celebrate with the candidate and enable a confetti rain after their application is successfully submitted. You enable/disable this by heading over to your career site’s Global design and going to the Confetti option under the Miscellaneous section.
