Tips before you share

  • Ask for a link to a CV or portfolio rather than a file upload — FormCraft has no file storage.
  • Avoid asking for age, marital status or photos; in many countries that invites discrimination claims.
  • One open question about motivation tells you more than five about history.
  • State the closing date in the description.

Questions people ask

Can applicants upload a CV?

No — uploads would need a server to store files, which FormCraft deliberately doesn’t have. Ask for a link (Google Drive, Dropbox, LinkedIn or a portfolio) instead.

What should a job application form not ask?

Questions about age, religion, marital status, pregnancy, disability (beyond reasonable-adjustment needs) or national origin can breach equality law in the US, UK and EU. Stick to job-related questions.
