What Is a Job Application Form?

A job application form asks every applicant the same questions, so you can compare them fairly: their details, education, work history, why they want the job and who can give a reference. Many small businesses, schools and charities use one alongside or instead of a CV or resume.

Which Job Application Form Should You Use?

• Job application form: personal details, education, employment history, a personal statement and references.
• Simple job application: one page for shops, cafés and part-time roles.
• Volunteer application form: for schools, charities, clubs and events, with an emergency contact.
• New starter or new employee form: payroll, bank and emergency details once someone is hired.

How to Use a Job Application Form

1. Add your logo and the job title, then save a copy for each vacancy.
2. Send it as a Word file or a PDF, or print it.
3. Score every application against the same criteria.
4. Keep forms securely and delete them when you no longer need them.

Only ask for information you need for the job. Check your local employment and data protection rules before you add questions.
