Application Forms

Recruiters can configure custom questions for each job. Applicants see these questions on the public application form along with standard fields (name, email, resume).

Question Types

Reqcore supports nine question types:

Type	Description	Input
`short_text`	Single-line text answer	Text input
`long_text`	Multi-line text answer	Textarea
`single_select`	Choose one option from a list	Dropdown
`multi_select`	Choose multiple options from a list	Checkboxes
`number`	Numeric value	Number input
`date`	Calendar date	Date picker
`url`	Web link	URL input
`email`	Email address	Email input
`file_upload`	Upload a file (portfolio, cover letter, etc.)	File input

Managing Questions

From the Dashboard

Navigate to the job's Application Form tab
Click Add Question to create a new question
Configure:
- Question text — What you're asking
- Type — The input type
- Required — Whether the applicant must answer
- Options — For select question types, define the choices
Drag questions to reorder them

Reordering

Questions can be reordered via drag-and-drop. The order is saved to the database using a bulk reorder endpoint and reflected on the public application form.

Editing and Deleting

Each question can be edited or deleted from the Application Form tab. Deleting a question does not delete existing responses from past applications.

Public Application Form

When a job is Open, a shareable application link is generated. The URL format is:

/jobs/{slug}/apply

The form consists of:

Standard fields: Name, email (always present)
Custom questions: Rendered dynamically based on the job's configuration
File uploads: Resume upload (standard) + any file_upload questions

Submission Flow

Applicant fills in all fields
Files are validated (MIME type via magic bytes) and uploaded to S3
A candidate record is created (or the existing one is reused if the email matches)
An application record links the candidate to the job
Question responses are stored per application
Applicant sees a confirmation page

Anti-Spam

Honeypot field — Hidden field that bots fill in; submissions with this field are silently rejected
Rate limiting — IP-based sliding window limits on the submission endpoint
