Bring applications into your workflow

Use the application form to collect submissions through a public form. Each submission becomes a task in a checklist, giving your team a place to review details and manage follow-up. With Checklist Pro, public intake forms, custom fields and team permissions support this hiring workflow. Adapt the questions to the role and use your organization's rules for access and retention.

Run a consistent interview

The candidate interview and evaluation checklist provides questions, evidence fields and anchored ratings. Save a role-specific Template, then start a fresh evaluation for each candidate and interviewer. Its internal Form view records answers within the checklist; Play guides the steps. This is separate from the public application form. Play is available on every plan; paid plans provide unlimited private-template runs, and Pro supports the wider team workflow. Keep hiring decisions with the authorized people, based on job-related evidence.

Prepare for a new hire

The employee onboarding checklist covers preparation, the first day and follow-up as a new hire settles into a role. The orientation checklist focuses on introductions, equipment and the first few days. Assign each step to the person best placed to complete it, and adapt the list to the role and workplace.

Organize a job search

Use the job search checklist to plan outreach and keep track of opportunities, and the resume writing checklist to review how you present your experience. Select the steps that suit your search and explore the career collection for more.

A few things to know

How does an application form become team work?
The public application form collects submissions and creates tasks in a checklist for your team to review and follow up. Public intake forms are a Pro feature. Adapt the fields and access settings before sharing your form.
Is the interview checklist a public application form?
No. Candidate Interview & Evaluation uses an internal Form view for interviewers to record evidence and ratings within a checklist. Play presents those steps one at a time and is available on every plan. Use the separate Application form for public intake.
How are onboarding and orientation different?
Orientation usually introduces a new employee to the workplace, people and immediate practicalities. Onboarding is the broader process of helping them learn the role and settle in over time.
Who should own an employee onboarding checklist?
A manager or onboarding coordinator can oversee the process, with individual steps assigned to the people responsible for equipment, access, introductions and training. The right owners depend on the organization.
Where can job seekers find a starting point?
The job search checklist helps organize the search, while the resume writing checklist offers prompts for preparing and reviewing a resume. The Career collection contains related resources.
