CV application form template
Turn a stack of CVs into structured applications you can compare at a glance, with the answers a shortlist actually depends on.
A CV on its own leaves the deciding questions unanswered: is the candidate eligible to work here, available when you need them, a fit for the level you're hiring at? You end up emailing applicants for the basics before you can even shortlist, and strong candidates go cold while you wait. Typeform's CV application form pairs the CV with the questions that decide a shortlist, so every application arrives ready to screen.
Candidates upload their CVs, share their contact details, and answer the questions that matter for the role. A candidate applying for a senior position gets asked about years of experience and leadership, while a graduate applicant is asked about their degree and availability, so each candidate answers only what's relevant to the role they're applying for. However the questions branch, every application still comes back structured and easy to compare.
Each CV arrives with the answers you screen on, so you shortlist against the role's real requirements instead of skimming documents. The details you'd otherwise hunt down for are already there, so screening starts the moment applications land.
A CV application form is a job application form candidates use to submit their CV alongside the details a specific role requires. It captures their contact information, the position they're applying for, key screening answers, and the CV itself in one submission. Recruiters and hiring teams use CV application forms to screen every candidate against the same requirements, instead of piecing applications together from email.
Without a CV application form, candidates email a CV and little else, leaving the questions that decide a shortlist unanswered: eligibility, availability, salary expectations. You spend days emailing back for the basics, and applicants lose interest before you reach a decision. A CV application form gathers the CV and those details in one place, so you can screen each candidate the moment they apply.
Capture what you need to screen an applicant:
- Name and contact details
- The role they're applying for
- The CV file itself
- Relevant experience and qualifications
- Availability and eligibility to work
Candidates can upload their CV as a PDF or document up to 10MB each with File Upload, available on paid Typeform plans. Every CV arrives attached to the candidate's answers, so you get the right CV file and their screening details together instead of chasing qualifying details across separate emails.
Yes. You can send each application straight to the hiring tools your team already uses—whether that's an applicant tracking system or a detailed hiring spreadsheet. Typeform integrates with many apps directly and with thousands more through Zapier, so your team can move on a strong candidate the day they apply.
