Application Form

Geetika Kaushal

Our fundraising director feels that we should do away with application form for roles in his department.

The logic of consistency does not appeal to him, as he feels there are so many fundraising jobs in market and he would rather provide ease of application to potential candidates.

Any more evidence based reason in favor of using a application form as opposed to CV.

  • The one thing I dont like about online application is to fill up form for each company whenever you apply. Which is no doubt very time consuming task and as an job seeker I mostly skip those long application forms.

    I would prefer to drop CV or apply through already avaiable information on Linkedin or any similar job site

    Hi Fazila

    Thank you for taking the time to reply and comments which I appreciate, it's useful feedback. I take your point, but it has been known for candidates to falsify information on cvs, LinkedIn profiles etc and the application form is a way of ensuring that they have to sign off to acknowledge that their stated data is correct and, if proven to be otherwise, this may lead to their dismissal. I will, however, look to simplify the process so that key data can be captured on one screen of a smart phone with a tick box for applicants to confirm that all data supplied as part of their application is true and accurate.
