The Application Form feature is designed to assist Talent Acquisition teams in gathering important applicant information for administrative purposes, thereby enhancing the efficiency of applicant tracking and record-keeping. It is important to note that, unlike Screening Questions, the Application Form does not influence the applicant’s overall score or evaluation. Its primary purpose is to ensure that all necessary details are collected during the application process.
