Job application form with CV and cover letter upload
Applications arrive in every shape by email. This form gives every candidate the same questions: contact details and location, the position they apply for, why they want the job, their most relevant experience, a CV, an optional cover letter, their earliest start date, a salary expectation and whether they have the right to work in the country.
Who it is for
- Small businesses and start-ups hiring without a recruitment system
- Associations and schools recruiting staff
- Recruiters who want a simple intake for a role
When to use it
Link it from your job advert. The same questions in the same order make shortlisting faster and fairer, and a required CV in PDF form means you never chase attachments. Ask only for what the job needs, as the rules on what you may ask a candidate differ by country.

The PDF your respondents receive
Each application becomes a PDF with the answers, and the CV and cover letter stay stored with the response. Applicants can download a copy of what they sent.
Questions people ask
- Is it an applicant tracking system?
- No. It collects applications. Tracking stages, scoring and messaging happen outside Fillfold.
- How long should I keep applications?
- Data-protection rules usually require you to keep them no longer than necessary. Delete unsuccessful applications after a reasonable period.
- Can I remove the salary question?
- Yes. Edit or remove any question. In some places asking about pay history is restricted, so check what applies to you.
