The Common Ninja Job Application Form widget is a free, no-code embed that lets employers collect candidate applications through a custom form on their careers page or job posting.
Add the job-specific fields you need (name, email, phone, resume/CV file upload, cover letter, work experience, availability, custom screening questions), request each candidate's available start date, configure optional payments if a role requires a paid assessment, enable spam protection, customize the design with skins or Custom CSS, set notification emails for new applications, and paste a one-line embed snippet on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, and 200+ other platforms.
Use it for company careers pages, small-business hiring, recruiting agencies, restaurant and retail hiring, and seasonal hiring pushes, and any moment where you need a clean application flow with resume upload and candidate data export, without piping applications through email threads, Google Forms, or a paid applicant-tracking system.
Why add a Job Application Form widget to your website?
Collect applications in one place, on your own domain
Email-based applications scatter candidate details and attachments across your inbox. A dedicated job application form on your careers page collects every application into one structured list, no replying-to-each-email guesswork, no lost resumes, no manual sorting. The applicant list lives in your Common Ninja dashboard with a clean export to CSV.
Gather resumes and job-specific data, not just contact info
Generic contact forms ask for name and email. A job application form gathers the applicant data hiring needs, resume/CV file upload, cover letter, work experience, availability, and custom screening questions per role. The hiring manager gets a complete application without a second round of follow-up emails asking for a resume.
Request each candidate's available start date
Beyond the resume, the form can ask each candidate for their available start date, so you know upfront who can begin immediately and who has a notice period. Useful for seasonal hiring, restaurant and retail roles, and any position where timing shapes who you shortlist first.
Different from a generic contact form or form builder
A Contact Form (enriched at /widgets/contact-form) is for general inquiries, name, email, message. A Form Builder (enriched at /widgets/form-builder) is for any custom multi-field form. This Job Application Form is pre-tuned for hiring with the right defaults (resume upload, work experience, availability, screening questions), so you don't build from scratch every time you post a new role.
How it works
Add your job-specific fields
Build the form with fields that match the role, name, email, and phone (required), resume/CV file upload, cover letter, work experience, availability, salary expectations, and custom screening questions per position. Request each candidate's available start date, mark fields required or optional, set validation rules, and group related fields with section headers.
Configure notifications and spam protection
If a role requires a paid assessment or application fee, enable optional payment collection via the widget's payment integration. Set notification email addresses so the hiring manager gets pinged when a new application arrives. Enable spam protection (honeypot, optional CAPTCHA) so the applicant list stays clean.
Embed and export applications
Copy the one-line embed snippet and paste it on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, or any of the 200+ supported platforms. Applications save to your Common Ninja dashboard; export the full applicant list to CSV whenever you need it for screening, shortlisting, or interview scheduling. Edits in the editor push to every embed without re-paste.
What you get with the Job Application Form widget
Customizable hiring fields with resume upload
Pre-tuned field types for hiring, resume/CV file upload, cover letter, work experience, availability, salary expectations, and available start date. Add custom screening questions per role and reorder via drag-and-drop in the editor, so each posting collects exactly the applicant data you need.
Optional payment collection
Collect payment alongside the application for roles that require a paid assessment or application fee. The form integrates payment in the same submission step, so candidates don't bounce between an application form and a separate checkout page.
Spam protection
Honeypot fields and optional CAPTCHA keep the applicant list clean. Validation rules block obvious junk (empty emails, malformed addresses, bot patterns) at submission so your list reflects real candidates, not fake applications.
Stylish skins and Custom CSS
Pick from a library of pre-designed skins (corporate-clean, brand-neutral, dark-mode, vibrant) for a fast visual fit on your careers page. Layer Custom CSS for pixel-level control over field spacing, button styling, header typography, and per-section dividers.

Key Job Application Specific Fields
By integrating designated job application fields such as the LinkedIn Profile URL and Current Employment Status selection, you can gather additional information that can help you evaluate candidates more effectively. incorporating other fields such as a portfolio link, professional certifications, or language proficiency can offer further insight into the candidate's skills and experience, providing a more comprehensive picture of their qualifications and suitability for the role.
Enhance Your Job Application Form
Incorporating headings, descriptive text, and visuals into your job application form enables a more engaging and intuitive submission experience for applicants. Including informative form elements can guide candidates through the application process, promoting a seamless experience and increasing the chances of successful submissions.
Personalize Headers & Footers
The Job Application Form creator offers header and footer customization options, including the ability to add images. This feature presents an excellent opportunity to strengthen your brand presence and design a professional, visually appealing form that seamlessly integrates with your website's overall look and feel.

Whether you’re charging for application processing, portfolio reviews, or other recruitment services, this feature integrates secure payment options seamlessly into your form. With a straightforward setup and dependable payment processing, you can enhance your application process while ensuring a smooth experience for your users.
Prevent Spam in Your Job Application Form
The Job Application Form builder allows you to enable the CAPTCHA anti-spam feature, which applicants must complete before submitting their application. This functionality helps prevent bots and automated scripts from submitting spam entries through your job application form, ensuring that you receive authentic submissions from genuine candidates.
HIPAA Compliance for Secure Forms
The Job Application Forms ensures HIPAA compliance, offering end-to-end data encryption and role-based access management to protect sensitive information. Seamless integrations, including a HIPAA-compliant API and support for tools like Google Sheets and EMR systems, enhance functionality. Additionally, activity tracking and audit logs provide full transparency over data access.
Diverse Job Application Form Styles
The Job Application Form creator comes with a variety of beautiful skins that you can choose from, to quickstart the design process and not spend much time on extensive customization. These pre-designed skins cater to different aesthetics, allowing you to easily match your form with your website's look and feel.

With this feature, you can effortlessly personalize every aspect of the form's design, from colors and fonts to layout and positioning. For those looking to exercise their creativity further, direct CSS editing allows for even more extensive customization options.
