Does anyone else in the community use forms for Recruitment?

Hey @Jaime Town welcome to the Community 😊

Great to hear you’ve been using Typeform in your recruitment process, hopefully there are a few more creators here that can share their learnings with you 🤞

In the meantime, we have a few case studies on the blog that might be useful if you haven’t already seen them:

Hope this helps, keep us posted on how you get on!

I wonder also if @Mark.T might have any thoughts, I know you’re mostly using VideoAsk now Mark, but thought I would tag you in here just in case!

Hey @Jaime Town!

As @Grace mentioned I pretty much exclusively use VideoAsk now as it provides a much more personal approach - which the type of candidates we deal with prefer. I have previously used Typeform for recruitment extensively - however most of the tips I would have shared are pretty much covered in the articles that Grace has linked.

A couple of top points that helped with our engagement were:

• Personalisation - using the Recall feature to pull in the applicants first names throughout the application form
• Utilising a Welcome Screen card with Time to Complete enabled - so applicants know what to expect and how long (on avg) they’ll need to complete the form
• Keep it short - at this stage only ask the questions you really need to know then route the applicant on to speaking to a recruiter using the Calendly integration. You could also use the ending card call to action button to push them on to the next steps too

I will just quickly add in here that I’m finding that as a lot more recruiters are utilising automation and ATS platforms, candidates are crying out for personal interaction more than ever. VideoAsk really does bridge that gap of being personable and enabling asynchronous communication throughout the whole recruitment process. From application right through to onboarding and collecting experience pulses.

I hope this helps!

Happy Monday, @Jaime Town !
