How To Create a Job Application Form

Home > Support > Support

In order to create a form for users to submit job applications on your website, you can make use of the sys:job-apply-form tag.

Step 1:
The first step is to choose a page for the application form to be displayed on.

In order to do so, you can either create a new page or select an existing page from the "Page Structure" hierarchy on the left-hand side of the "Content Management" administration.

Step 2:
Once selected, open the page's "Content" tab and click on the "Edit" icon.

Step 3:
In the editing window that appears, select the "Source" editor tab in the upper left-hand corner.

Step 4:
Working with the "Source" editor, place your cursor in the location where you would like the application form to appear on the page (somewhere between the <body> and </body> tags to ensure that it is within the page's body).

Step 5:
Click on the "System" drop-down menu located in the toolbar at the top of the screen, and scroll down until you reach the section labeled "HR Module."

From here, click on "job-apply-form" and the following tag will appear in the location where you have placed your cursor:

<sys:job-apply-form />

Step 6:
In order to determine the actual appearance of your job application form, you can add the following attributes to the tag that has just been generated:

xmlns: This attribute is used to let the system know which vocabulary to use in evaluating your codes, so that the proper output will be generated
xslt: This attribute allows you to specify an xsl file that will be used to determine how the application form is formatted and transformed

In the end, the tag should look something like this:

<sys:job-apply-form xmlns="http://www.example.org/xhtml" xslt="example-apply-form.xsl" />

Step 7:
Once the tag has been entered properly, click "Publish" and the form will be made available to your site's visitors for use in submitting applications for any job opening listed.

Note: In order for users to be able to reach this application form, you will want to place a link to this page on the job details page.
