At SurveyMonkey, we have several job application templates to help you get started. Let’s review them, and check out some examples and tips.
These days, filing your job application online is pretty much the default. Filling out paper forms and going to the copy shop to get a snazzy package ready with your resume is a thing of the past.
Why the change? It turns out that online job application surveys are a great tool for streamlining your hiring process and finding those ideal candidates faster than ever. They allow you to avoid having to read through cover letters and applications filed in unstructured text documents. In addition, the analysis tools that SurveyMonkey provides, allow you to sort through your pool of candidates more efficiently and effectively.
Gone are the days of looking for as many applicants as possible only to dread the moment of having to start reading their materials.
The following are some examples of SurveyMonkey’s expert-designed survey templates. You can start with one of them, and you can also build your own custom job application template by using the certified questions available in our Question Bank.
* Please note: Some of these templates are only available in English.
You can also get creative as you create your job application template. For example, you can convert it into a more powerful tool for learning about your job candidates thanks to the file upload tool included with SurveyMonkey templates.
With this tool, it’s very simple to ask your candidates to upload a Word or PDF version of their resume, work samples, cover letter and other documents that might give you a fuller picture of who they are and what they can do for you.
And the best thing for them is, their carefully-designed resume will still look impressive when they send it to you this way, instead of having to copy and paste the content into a featureless text box.
