    Create a form

    Candidate forms can be created for candidates to complete as they work through the hiring process, such as an application or background check.


    Create a form

    1. Select the All Apps menu in the top left corner of the page and then Settings from its drop-down menu.
    2. When the Settings page opens, select Forms under the Jobs section.
    3. The Candidate Forms list will then open. Select New Candidate Form in the upper-right corner of the list.
    4. A new form will open. By default, each new form will have two sections:
      • A Personal Information section as the first section, but that can be deleted or rearranged. Adjust the first section, if needed.
      • A Final Submission is the only section that cannot be changed or removed, as this is the confirmation window for candidates to review their responses.
    5. Enter a name for your form.
    6. Click + Add Section to add a new section. The available sections include:
      • Personal Information
      • Work Experience
      • Work Experience Timeline
      • Address History Timeline
      • Custom – Start a section from scratch.
      • WOTC
      • I-9 Integration
      • Background Check
      • Tax Withholding Forms
      • Payroll Information
      • Diversity Questions
      • Disability Identification
    7. Add task(s) to the section and configure them with the necessary structure and functionality. 
    8. Save the section.
    9. Repeat steps #4-8 for all necessary sections.
    10. Publish the form.
