Application Forms

Overview

Application Forms allow you to customize the information candidates provide when applying for a job.

Instead of using the same fixed application form for every job, you can create forms based on your hiring needs and collect only the information that is relevant for each role.

With Application Forms, recruiters can add candidate details, social profiles, referral information, and custom questions to better evaluate applicants before moving them through the hiring pipeline.

Why Use Application Forms?

They are useful when you want to:

  • Collect role-specific information from candidates

  • Ask screening questions before reviewing applications

  • Gather salary, notice period, or experience details

  • Collect social profile links such as LinkedIn or GitHub

  • Add referral information when needed

  • Standardize candidate data across job applications

Supported Question Types

Field Types Supported

Depending on the question, you can choose different field types, such as:

  • Date

Each field type helps candidates provide answers in the correct format.

Default Application Form

Taraki provides a default application form that includes the basic information required to process candidate applications.

Some default fields may be locked because they are required by the system. These fields cannot be removed, but recruiters can add additional fields based on their hiring requirements.

How Application Forms Are Used

Once an application form is created, it can be linked to a job.

When candidates apply to that job, they will see the selected form and fill out the required information before submitting their application.

The submitted answers will then be available on the candidate profile for recruiter review.

For better candidate experience:

  • Keep forms short and relevant

  • Only ask questions that are needed for the role

  • Avoid duplicate fields

  • Use required fields only when necessary

  • Use custom questions for role-specific screening

  • Preview the form before assigning it to a job
