How to Collect Job Applications
When hiring, it’s important to have your job applications easily accessible and collectable. Our free job application form can be easily printed and displayed at your center. Interested parties can take physical copies to apply themselves or pass on to other candidates. This helps you reach a wide range of potential candidates and makes hiring at your childcare center easier.
Be sure to put the job application form on your website as a downloadable PDF with instructions on returning it or emailing it to your center. This ensures the maximum number of potential candidates as your website is likely where they will first interact with your center.
Digital Job Application Options
In today’s digital age, having digital job applications is crucial in maximizing candidate potential. To do this, create a digital form and have it prominently displayed on your website. Depending on your website provider, there may be tools you can use to build a form within your website and have the captured information emailed to you. If you’re unsure of how to do this, you can easily set up and link to or embed a free Google Form. This is an easy tool that lets you customize your job application form to outline exactly what you need.
If you’re using digital advertising through Facebook, try including a lead generation form within your advertisements so potential candidates can easily apply.
Posting your open jobs on LinkedIn also offers options for easy digital applications.
