FAQ
Why use a form instead of asking for a PDF resume?
A form ensures you get the exact information you need in a consistent format, making it easier to filter, search, and compare candidates without opening dozens of different file types.
Can I add custom questions for specific job roles?
Yes. Once you copy this template to your Google Drive, you can easily add, remove, or reorder questions to match the specific requirements of your open position.

Absolutely. The fields are designed to be broad enough for most professional roles while remaining detailed enough to provide a clear picture of an applicant's qualifications.
