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 |
| 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.
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.
