Who can do this: Owners and Admins.
Product: Job Board
Where: Settings → Jobs → Application forms
An application form is called a preset, and one preset is your company default. Every form asks for first name, last name, email and a resume. These can't be removed, because they create the candidate. Keep the rest short, because short forms get finished.
Your account starts with one preset, Default application form. It asks for a phone number (required) and comes with four sample questions: earliest start date, right to work, salary expectations and anything else. Keep, change or remove them. The resume question is labeled CV upload.

Pick a question from the Question library, or click New question….
For a new question, enter the Question label and pick an Answer type: short or long answer, number, date, checkbox, dropdown, multiple choice or file upload.
Turn Required on for questions candidates must answer.
Drag the questions into the order you want.
Click Save changes.
You see Application form saved. Candidates now see your questions on every board and job that uses this preset.
The form candidates see
Your questions show after the resume, name and email fields, followed by the consent boxes.
Use the form on a board or a job
A form is used in this order: the job's form, then the board's, then the company default.
For a board: open the board in Settings → Jobs → Job boards, pick the preset under Application form, and click Save changes.
For one job: edit the job, pick the preset under Options → Application form, and click Save changes.
Send the answers to Bullhorn
Using Bullhorn? Each form has a Bullhorn field mapping section that decides which Bullhorn field each answer fills. See Map application answers to Bullhorn fields.
The Bullhorn field mapping section on a form
Each row links a form answer to a Bullhorn candidate field, with its update rule.
Good to know
To make another form, click New preset. To make a preset the company default, open it and click Set as default.
Questions you create are saved to your Question library. Editing one there changes it on every preset that uses it.
Candidates always select two consent boxes: your terms and privacy policy, and data processing. The links come from the board's Legal settings.
Candidates upload a resume as PDF, DOC or DOCX, up to 10 MB, or use the LinkedIn profile tab to upload the PDF of their LinkedIn profile.
Pro tip: Turn Required on only for questions you need before you call a candidate. Every form already asks for name, email and a resume, and short forms get finished.
