Enable Express Apply

Enable Express Apply so candidates can quickly import their profile information to job application form fields and minimize the effort needed to apply for a job. 

Express Apply headers are conversational and easy to read, especially on mobile devices. The flow is designed to encourage candidates to import their profile so they can submit the application without reviewing the whole application form.

The form contains an application form with an underlying set of blocks, and candidates will initially try to complete the form without seeing them. If some fields are required and blank after candidates import their information, or if field validation returns an error for some other reason, those fields are displayed in block context to candidates so they can fix them. For example, if the Middle Name field in the Contact Info block is required and blank after import, the Contact Info block is displayed to the candidate so they can fix it. If there are more errors in other blocks, they'll be presented to candidates block-by-block, with each block shown on a separate page.
Note: Express Apply is only available for the Job Application Flow. It's not supported by other flow types.
In a typical flow:
  • Candidates verify their profile with an email address or phone number.
  • Once they've confirmed their identity, they'll see a profile import page where they can either upload a resume (they can use the drag-and-drop functionality, or navigate to the file), or import information from Indeed or LinkedIn (depending on what's enabled). They can also click a link to manually complete their form instead. If they use this link, they'll be redirected to the classic application flow.
  • If there's any missing information after they've uploaded or imported, candidates are notified and shown precisely what fields need to be completed. They can use the arrows on the page to navigate forward or backward to each issue. Candidates only see the blocks that have missing information. They don't need to navigate to each page in the application.
    Note: If a field has a default value coming from configuration that you've predefined, it will be considered a filled value, and that block might not be shown to candidates.
  • A final page displays blocks where information was imported, and lists of blocks that didn’t have any required info. Candidates can optionally complete manually. Depending on the configuration, if there are any e-signatures or marketing opt-ins needed, those fields also display.

  • If a candidate wants to review all of their data, they can click the "review your data" link at the bottom of the page. They'll be taken to the standard apply flow to review this information.
  1. Create a new, or duplicate an existing application flow.
  2. Add the Profile Import block to this configuration and include at least one profile import option (resume, LinkedIn, or Indeed). This allows candidates to import their profile.
  3. Enable the new Address block v2 functionality.
  4. Enable the feature for the application flows.
