Frequently asked questions

Can applicants attach a CV or portfolio to this form?

Yes. In Google Forms, add a 'File upload' question so applicants can attach their CV, portfolio, or work samples directly. Files are stored in Google Drive.

How do I receive application notifications?

Google Forms sends an email notification for every new response. You can also link the form to Google Sheets to track all applications in one place, and use conditional formatting to highlight priority candidates.

Can I share this form privately so only invited candidates see it?

Yes. In Google Forms settings, restrict responses to your organisation or require Google account sign-in before submitting. You can also restrict the form link and share it only via direct email.

How do I track applications and move candidates through stages?

Link the form to Google Sheets and add custom columns — Status (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Rejected), Reviewer, and Notes. You can filter and sort by stage across all applications.

Can I use this form for multiple open roles at once?

Add a 'Position Applied For' dropdown with all open roles, or create a separate form per role. The single-form approach is easier to manage; separate forms give cleaner response sheets per role.

Does this form meet equal opportunity requirements?

The template does not include protected characteristic fields (age, ethnicity, disability status). If required by your jurisdiction or policy, add an optional equal opportunities section and store it in a separate Google Sheet tab to keep it blind to hiring managers.
