Job Application Form

Accept Applications and Resumes — No Third-Party Job Board Needed

Manually managing job applications by juggling emails or relying on external tools can slow down your hiring and turn great candidates away. The Ninja Forms Job Application form template helps you simplify and organize your hiring workflow, so you can attract top applicants and make confident hiring decisions, all from your WordPress site.

This template provides a streamlined, applicant-friendly way to collect applications, resumes, and supporting documents, without any coding required.

Here’s What You Can Do With a Template of a Job Application Form

Use this template to eliminate back-and-forth emails, reduce manual data entry, and collect all the information you need upfront to make better, faster hires.

• Upload resumes and cover letters: Allow applicants to upload PDFs, Docs, and more with built-in file upload fields. Keep application documents neatly organized and easily accessible.
• Create custom fields for any role: Add, remove, or rearrange fields like work history, education, references, and availability to match your hiring process.
• Send automated email confirmations: Send custom confirmation emails to applicants or notify your hiring team automatically when a new application comes in.
• Sort and filter applications: View, track, and manage submissions from your WordPress dashboard, or export them to Excel to share with your team or track offline.
• Deliver a polished, mobile-friendly experience: Enjoy responsive designs that keep your job application form looking and working great on all devices so candidates can apply from anywhere.
• Let candidates save progress: Enable the Save Progress add-on so applicants can pause and return to their submission without starting over.
• Enable conditional logic: Show or hide fields based on answers with the Conditional Logic add-on. For example, only ask for a portfolio if someone selects a creative role.
