Employment Application (IL)

Before you can interview and hire new employees, you need to find qualified candidates. A thorough but easy-to-complete job application form is a helpful way to screen candidates and gather the information you need as you decide who to interview. A standard form will also make sure you are collecting the same information for each candidate, which will help you fairly evaluate them and avoid claims of discrimination.

Employment law varies by state. Some states restrict the types of things you can ask, and others require you to provide certain information to all applicants. This template will help you meet the legal requirements for your state.

You can also customize the application to fit your unique business needs by choosing how many references and previous jobs to ask for, whether to ask about military service and driver's license number, and other details.
