Career page — Application form
The Application tab configures what candidates see and fill out when applying through your career site. It is organized into three sections: spontaneous application setup, applicant setup toggles, and the per-field applicant information table.
Spontaneous Application Setup
This section contains one setting: Survey for spontaneous applications. Select a candidate survey from the dropdown to attach it to spontaneous (open) applications. When a candidate submits a spontaneous application, they will be presented with the selected survey.
Applicant Setup
Three on/off toggles control the application flow:
| Toggle | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Require candidate for a CV | When on, the candidate must attach a CV to submit |
| Allow candidate to add more files | When on, the candidate can attach additional files beyond the CV |
| Show apply button | When on, the apply button is visible on job listings |
Applicant Information
A searchable table of the fields shown to candidates during the application process. For each field you can set:
- Active — whether the field appears on the form. Fields that are always required (Email, Name, Phone Number) cannot be deactivated.
- Mandatory — whether the field must be filled before submitting. The “Mandatory” toggle is only available when the field is active, and is locked for always-required fields.
Standard fields available:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Always active and mandatory | |
| Name | Always active and mandatory |
| PhoneNumber | Always active and mandatory |
| Available Date | When the candidate can start |
| Actual Position | Candidate’s current job title |
| Actual Salary | Candidate’s current salary |
| Requested Salary | Candidate’s salary expectation |
| Preferred language | Candidate’s preferred working language |
| Preferred communication | Preferred contact channel |
| French level | French language proficiency |
| English level | English language proficiency |
| Address | Candidate’s home address |
| Mobility | Where the candidate can work — see Mobility below. Off by default |
| LinkedIn profile URL | |
| Website | Personal website URL |
| Monster | Monster profile URL |
| Twitter/X profile URL | |
| Instagram profile URL | |
| Github | GitHub profile URL |
If your organization has configured active custom candidate fields, those fields also appear in this table.
Mobility
The Mobility field adds a “Where can you work?” block to the form (work modes, regions, commute, relocation). It is off by default — it lengthens the form — and behaves like every other field: Active shows it, Mandatory requires an answer. Since the table rows are sorted alphabetically, it sits between LinkedIn and Monster.
What the candidate sees when the field is active, in the Application section of the form, after the available date — a block titled Where can you work? (followed by an asterisk when mandatory), with the sentence “Tell us which work modes and regions suit you — it helps us offer you the right roles.” and five fields:
- Work modes — the On-site, Hybrid, Remote checkboxes.
- Regions where you can work — one city or province at a time (City or province — press Enter to add, or the Add button), each shown as a chip with an ×. Suggestions are the cities and provinces of your jobs; a free value is accepted.
- Maximum commute (minutes) — a whole number; otherwise the message “Please enter a whole number of minutes” shows.
- Relocation — No / Open / Yes; for Open and Yes, a Details (optional) field appears.
- Nothing is required while the field is not Mandatory; mandatory, it requires at least one work mode (“Please select at least one work mode”), everything else staying optional.
The answer lands in the Mobility section of the candidate’s profile, stamped Updated · Career portal, and immediately feeds the Work mode, Region and Relocation filters of the candidates list and the kanban’s mobility hint. A candidate who applies again with an answer replaces the previous one; a block left empty does not touch what a recruiter already entered.
Tips
- Ask for less, not more. Every additional required field increases the chance a candidate abandons the form before submitting.
- Use the filter at the top of the Applicant Information table to find a specific field quickly when the list is long.
- Attach a survey to spontaneous applications only if your team has a process for reviewing and acting on the survey responses.
