Apply form for job posts

The new Apply form provides a flexible, customizable way to collect applicant information. This feature is opt-in. If you do not enable it, your job posts will continue to use the classic application form. When enabled, you can control appearance, required fields, conditional questions, scoring and more to create a better candidate experience.

Activating the new Apply form

In the job post editor, locate the Apply form step in the right side panel (tagged New). Toggle it on to enable the new form. The estimated time to apply shows how long the form will take and updates in real time as you add steps. The difficulty indicator displays easy, moderate, or hard and updates live based on form complexity.

Customize appearance

Turn on appearance customization to brand the form:

  • Set a primary color for the apply form.
  • Upload an image (from your device, logo archive or files storage).

CV upload

Choose whether applicants should upload a CV and whether the CV is required or optional.

Profile settings

Configure profile fields that applicants must complete. Two fields are mandatory and cannot be removed: Name and Email. You may add other fields (for example, address or phone number) and mark each as required or optional.

Questions

Enable questions to add custom screening fields. Questions can be:

  • Created specifically for this job post.
  • Selected from custom fields (stored on the candidate profile).
  • Pulled from candidate attributes (also stored on the candidate).

Question types

Supported types include text, long text, yes/no, single-select, multi-select, star-rating, date, number and attachment.

Advanced settings

Each question can be configured as:

  • Required — applicant must answer.
  • Conditional — appears only if a previous question meets a trigger condition.
  • Scoring — assign point values to responses; scores are stored in the applicant drawer.
  • Qualifying — helps screen candidates based on your criteria without blocking submission.

Examples:

Add a yes/no question, “Do you have experience as an actor?” and make it required. Then create a long-text follow-up question and set it as conditional so it appears only when the applicant answers “Yes.” 

You can also add a multi-select question, such as “Places worked,” and assign scores per option (e.g., US = 100, Norway = 80, Other = 10).

Additional sections

The applicants will be able to include the following fields: language, skills, reference, work experience, education, course & certification and driver's license.

Each can be toggled as required or optional.

Review & Apply

This is the final step where applicants confirm and submit their application. Configurable options include:

  • Application text — with a max/min character limit you set.
  • Attachments — allow up to 5 additional file uploads (portfolios, certifications, work samples, etc.).
  • Description text — guidance shown to the applicant.

Applicant view

After submitting your form, applicants go through a smooth flow starting with uploading their CV, which features a progress bar and an option to automatically parse the CV to pre-fill profile fields. The profile details are then filled in, where possible, from the parsed CV. They proceed to answer questions, with required ones marked by an asterisk and conditional questions appearing when triggered. There may also be additional sections, such as references. Finally, applicants can add optional attachments or a cover letter, review all their entries, and submit their application. Once submitted, a success message confirms the completion.
