How to Configure a Custom Form

Jan 07, 2020

Custom Forms allow you to collect specific information from candidates or internal teams—such as pre-interview questionnaires, onboarding data, or post-interview feedback—tailored to your organization's process.

Benefits:

  • Capture structured data directly from candidates or interviewers.
  • Standardize information collection across jobs or workflows.
  • Link forms to different stages in the hiring process.

Steps to Create and Use a Custom Form:

  1. Log in to Hiring Bull with admin access.
  2. Navigate to: Settings → Custom Forms
  3. Click on “Add Form” to start creating a new form.
  4. Name the Form:
    • Give your form a clear title (e.g., “Candidate Experience Survey”, “Technical Evaluation Sheet”).
  5. Add Input Fields:
    You can add one or more of the following field types:
    • Text Box – For open-ended responses.
    • Dropdown – To provide selectable options.
    • Checkboxes – For multiple selections.
    • Date Picker – To select a date.
    • Rating Scale – For evaluations or feedback.
    • File Upload – To collect documents if needed.
  6. Set Field Properties:
    • Mark fields as Required or Optional.
    • Add Tooltips or Descriptions for clarity.
    • Reorder fields using drag-and-drop functionality.
  7. Click “Save” to publish the form.

Linking the Form:

  • After saving, you can link the form to:
    • A specific job posting (e.g., application stage form).
    • A candidate profile (e.g., feedback or evaluation).
    • An interview stage (e.g., technical assessment form).

Bonus Tip:
Custom Forms can also be exported or reviewed in reports for better analysis and decision-making.
