Build each role's form with your own questions, conditional fields and opening dates, and publish it in versions.

The form builder

Where:Rolesa roleEdit form

Every form always asks for full name, email, phone (validated, with country code), resume and consent. Add your own questions from the Add a field palette:

FieldUse it for
Short text / Long textCurrent employer; why this role.
NumberYears of experience, expected salary.
Email / PhoneAn extra address or alternate number.
DateAvailability date.
Single choice / Multiple choice / DropdownPick one, pick several, or a long list.
Yes / NoA simple toggle question.
File uploadCertificates or a portfolio (PDF, Word or a photo, up to 10 MB).
Rating1 to 5 stars.
Section headingSplits the form into parts.
Consent checkboxMust be ticked to continue.

For each field set the label, help text, placeholder, options, character limit and whether it is required. Drag to reorder; duplicate or delete from the row.

Conditional questions

Use Show only if… to show a field only when an earlier choice field has a given value. For example, show “Which board have you taught?” only when “Have you taught before?” is Yes. The field it depends on must be a single choice, dropdown, yes/no or multiple choice field above it.

Save, publish and versions

Save draft keeps your changes private. Publish makes them live as a new version. Applications already submitted keep the exact questions they answered; new applications use the new version.

Publishing is blocked until every field has a label, every choice field has options, and every condition points to a field above it. Copy from role replaces the draft with another role's form, so you can start from one you already have.

Form settings

  • Opens at / Closes at: optional dates. Before and after, candidates see that applications open soon or have closed.
  • Allow more than one application per person: off by default. When off, a repeat application is still accepted but flagged as a duplicate.
  • Send confirmation email, with the candidate's reference number (on).
  • Show “we may call you” notice (on).
  • Confirmation message shown after submitting.

Preview the form as a desktop or phone before publishing.
