The Application Form is the second step of the job creation wizard, between Job Post and Candidate Pipeline. It controls what information candidates provide when they apply. You can edit the form later from the job’s Settings page.

​
Standard Fields

Toggle each standard field on or off, and mark any enabled field as mandatory. Notice Period and Salary Expectation Range (when enabled) are sortable in the applications dashboard.
The Job Fit Score ranking criteria depend on what you collect, such as Skills, Work Experience, Educational Background, and Industries.
Every mandatory field adds friction, so only require fields you will actually use.

​
Custom Fields

When the standard fields do not cover something you need, add custom fields. Each job opening supports up to 10.
1

Add a custom field

Give it a label, for example “Do you hold a valid driving license?”.
2

Pick the answer type

Choose Text, Boolean (yes/no), Integer (a number), or Date, then set whether the field is mandatory.
Custom field answers appear on each candidate’s profile, and you can use them as filters in the applications dashboard.
