How to add Job Application Form to a WordPress website

Embed Job Application Form on WordPress

01

Create a Job Application Form plugin for WordPress on Common Ninja

First, create a WordPress Job Application Form plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Job Application Form and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Job Application Form plugin

When you're done creating the Job Application Form plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Job Application Form Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Job Application Form plugin to your WordPress website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your WordPress website.

04

Paste the code to your WordPress website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your WordPress website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the WordPress’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Job Application Form Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Job Application Form plugin on your WordPress website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Job Application Form plugin on your WordPress plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your WordPress website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Job Application Form plugin to your WordPress website. You can do this by putting it straight into your WordPress website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Job Application Form widget when you want to collect candidate information in a focused, professional format directly on your site. Instead of sending applicants to generic tools or asking for emailed CVs that are hard to organize, you define the exact fields you need, such as experience, links, and role specific questions. Submissions are stored consistently, making screening and comparison easier for your hiring team. This is helpful for companies of all sizes that regularly post roles and want to keep candidates inside their own brand environment. A tailored application form signals that you take hiring seriously, improves the quality of incoming applications, and streamlines your overall recruitment process.
