Free Job Application Form Template with Resume Upload

Who this template is for

Small HR teams, founders, and hiring managers use this template to run hiring without paying for a full ATS. It is tuned for the realities of early-stage and mid-market hiring: screening questions before a resume review, optional work-sample uploads, and a clear consent checkbox for data retention. Every applicant becomes a Contact in your CRM Cubby, and every role can have its own pipeline stages — from Applied to Hired.

From application to offer, in one place

Every applicant creates a Contact record tagged with the role. Resume and work samples attach as files you can review without downloading one at a time. Drag applicants through pipeline stages — Applied, Phone screen, Take-home, Onsite, Offer — and leave interview notes on each stage. Assign follow-up tasks to interviewers, set automatic "we will get back to you within 7 days" reminders, and close the loop with a polite rejection or an offer, all from the same record.

What's included

The applicant fields that actually help you screen — no more, no less. Add role-specific questions in the editor.
