Job Application Flow: Example
Example of what a job application flow aligned with accessibility guidelines could look like.
Use Basic Search
Use Basic Search to provide an accessible experience for users using assistive technology. This will provide candidates the ability to search for jobs, review the results page, and navigate into job details.
With Basic Search, candidates can search for jobs using criteria such as the job number, the job field, the location, review the results page, and view job details. For details about Basic Search, see Career Portal Pages.
View Job Details and Apply for Job
Candidates can view job details and apply for the job. When candidates apply for a job, they enter the job application flow and go through a sequence of pages that they must complete.
Configure Job Application Flow
Configure the job application flow to include these key sections:
Profile Upload
Candidate Personal Information
Education
Work Experience
E-Signature
Review and Submit
The Profile Upload page enables candidates to import their resume into the career section. If a resume is selected, the system parses the resume into available fields. If LinkedIn and Indeed profile import options are configured, candidates can import information that they have stored on their external social profiles into the job application flow.
The Candidate Personal Information page enables candidates to provide their personal information data. The information typically collected in this page includes:
First name and last name
Address
Phone number
Email address
The Education page enables candidates to provide education information. The information collected in this page includes:
Institution
Program / Major
Education level (e.g., Master, PhD)
Start date and end date
The Work Experience page enables candidates to provide their work experience. Candidates can add more employers as necessary. The information collected in this page includes:
Employer
Job function
Start date and end date
The E-Signature page enables candidates to validate that they agree to the privacy policy of the employer. Candidates must sign their name and enter an additional piece of information such as the zip code to sign the agreement.
The Review and Submit page enables candidates to review and validate the information they submitted. Candidates can edit and update the information as necessary.
The last page on the job application flow is the Thank You page. This page confirms that the information provided by the candidate was submitted.
