Interview & Application Form
Use a ONLINE INTERVIEW & APPLICATION FORM template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What the interview and application form does
An Interview & Application Form collects an applicant’s answers, contact details, work history, availability, and consent in one record for review. With signNow, a sender uploads the form, auto-detects fillable fields, checks or adjusts each field, and sends it to the applicant or interviewer. Recipients complete the requested fields, sign where assigned, and receive a completed copy. The audit trail records actions, timestamps, and signer activity, while the finished form remains available for authorized hiring or admissions staff.

Complete applications on mobile devices
The signNow mobile apps support Interview & Application Form workflows on iOS and Android. Users can review assigned fields, sign electronically, and use a device camera to capture supporting documents when the application requires attachments.
iOS app iOS app Android app Android app Offline signing Offline capture
Offline signing helps interviewers and applicants continue working when connectivity is limited; completed actions synchronize when access returns. Administrators should manage app access, permissions, and storage policies for devices handling applicant information. Camera capture can add identity or qualification documents, but teams should collect only materials required for the application process.

Troubleshoot application form workflows
Resolve field, consent, authentication, plan, enforceability, and privacy questions before distributing the Interview & Application Form.
Upload the Interview & Application Form as a PDF, then review signNow’s detected fields before sending. Add missing text, date, initials, or signature fields manually so applicants cannot overlook required information.
For consumer-facing electronic records, provide the ESIGN Act disclosure required by 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), including paper-record access, electronic access capability, and withdrawal procedures. Configure the application workflow to capture consent before signing.
Use email delivery for routine applications and add SMS OTP or stronger authentication when the application contains sensitive personal information. signNow’s Business Premium and Enterprise plans provide documented plan capabilities; confirm the selected plan’s controls before deployment.
The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes 100 signature invites per user per year. Additional invites may incur overage fees, so review usage before sending large application batches.
signNow supports legally binding electronic signatures under ESIGN and UETA when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are met. The platform’s audit trail helps preserve evidence, but the organization remains responsible for its application process.
If the form includes protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a BAA. Execute the BAA and configure access, retention, and disclosure procedures before collecting that information.
