For recruiters

Turn job application PDFs into Google Forms - share a link, not a Word file

Upload your job application or screening questionnaire. Doc2Form builds a real Google Form in Drive so candidates apply on any device without you rebuilding fields for every role.

How recruiters use Doc2Form to build Google Forms

Job application forms

Work history, education, availability, and references - convert your existing application PDF into a shareable link for each open role.

Candidate pre-screening

Eligibility questions, salary expectations, and availability for interviews - filter candidates before a phone screen.

Interview scorecards

Competency ratings, interview notes, and hire/no-hire recommendations - structured feedback from every interviewer in one spreadsheet.

Reference check forms

Structured reference questionnaires sent by link - consistent information from every reference instead of unstructured phone notes.

Offer acceptance forms

Start date confirmation, equipment preferences, and onboarding information collection - structured intake after the offer is accepted.

Candidate experience surveys

Post-interview feedback forms for all candidates - a short survey on the process helps spot friction before it hurts employer brand.

Sound familiar?

Without Doc2Form

You're opening three new roles. Each needs a slightly different application form. You build each one from scratch in Google Forms, remembering last time you forgot to add a salary expectation field.

With Doc2Form

Upload the application form PDF from the last similar role. Doc2Form builds the Google Form in under a minute. You update the job title and adjust two questions. Done - and it's consistent with the last one.

How it works

Three steps from document to live Google Form - no retyping needed.

AI reads the structure

Questions, answer choices, sections, and logic are detected automatically.

In short: Upload a PDF or Word template and get a Google Form in your Drive. Built for recruiters. Files up to 5 MB. First form free.

Every open role needs a form - stop building them from scratch

Recruiters open roles frequently and each one needs a structured application or screening process. Re-creating Google Forms manually for each position - even from a template - takes time that could go to sourcing and interviews.

Doc2Form converts existing application and screening documents into Google Forms. Upload a PDF or Word file up to 5 MB and it detects the fields - text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns - and builds the matching form in your Drive.

No document? Use describe mode: type a brief description of the role's requirements and get a starting application form to refine.

All candidate responses in one spreadsheet

Every Google Form links to a connected Sheets spreadsheet. Application responses, screening answers, and interview scorecards all aggregate automatically - no manual data entry before candidate reviews.

Based on a sample of 1,775 Google Forms generated by Doc2Form users, containing 55,761 questions across 47 languages. That is an average of 31 questions per form - roughly 21 minutes saved per form versus rebuilding each question by hand in the Forms editor (assuming ~40 seconds per question).

A real example

A 3-page job application PDF becomes a Form for campus career fairs; recruiters filter Sheets by role family before phone screens.

Common questions

Can I use Google Forms for a job application?

Yes. Many teams run applications and screening as a Google Form, then export responses to Sheets or an ATS. Doc2Form turns your existing application PDF or Word file into that Form so you are not rebuilding fields for every open role.

Can I use this for ATS-connected forms?

Doc2Form creates standard Google Forms. They don't connect directly to an ATS. The connected Sheets spreadsheet can be exported or connected to other tools via Zapier or similar.

Can candidates apply without a Google account?

Yes. Google Forms can be set to accept responses without sign-in. Candidates fill out the form via a link on any device.

What if different roles need different questions?

Create one base application form and duplicate it in Drive per role. Adjust role-specific questions and keep the shared structure consistent.

Does it cost anything?

The first form is free, no credit card required. Credit packs are available after that. The project is open source for recruiting teams that prefer to self-host.
