What candidates see when applying

The applicant's view of a form - the public application form, email verification, and the confirmation screen.

What it is

This is the candidate's side - what someone sees when they open a form's public application link, or from your public page.

The applicant's flow

  1. They open the form link and see your logo, the form description, and any widgets (location, closing date) - see Form widgets and closing date.
  2. They answer the questions. Name and Email are always asked, plus the form's own questions; required ones are marked. File-upload and video questions are supported.
  3. If Verify email on submission is on for the form, they verify their email (via a code) as part of submitting (see Form settings).
  4. They submit and see your success message (default "We have received your submission", or your custom one - see Form settings).

Edge cases candidates may hit

  • Closed form - if the form isn't accepting applications, they see "This form is not accepting submissions right now" instead of the form (see Form statuses).
  • One submission only - if Limit to one submission is on, someone who already applied can't submit again.

Notes & limits

  • Candidates don't need a Binary account to apply.
  • This is the public form; to review the applications you receive, see The Responses page.
