Job Application

Source: BrantHR Staff

Most employers provide an application form for candidates to complete as an efficient means of collecting information in a standardized format. It usually includes information about education, prior work history and job-related skills. Even when a detailed resume is submitted, there are several reasons to request the completed job application from the candidate:

  • Comparison of candidates is made easier with the application form.
  • Information that the company requires can be specifically requested, instead of just what the candidate chooses to reveal on their resume.
  • Candidates will complete the application on site, giving a true sample of their reading, writing and comprehension skills. It is quite common that someone else has prepared the resume and cover letter of the candidate.
  • Applications ask the candidate to sign that all of the information that they have provided is true and accurate, which protects the company from those who may attempt to falsify their credentials.
