About this template

A staffing agency candidate intake form is the front door of your recruiting pipeline. Without a structured intake process, recruiters waste time chasing down missing information — follow-up calls for work authorization status, texts asking about shift preference, emails confirming drug test consent. A well-designed candidate registration form captures all of that upfront, in one place, before the first recruiter conversation.

This template covers the full intake checklist: contact details, work authorization, job type preference, industries and skills, shift availability, pay rate expectations, transportation status, and compliance consents. The fields are organized into logical sections so candidates move through the form naturally — general info first, then work preferences, then compliance. The result is a complete candidate profile your team can act on immediately.

formformform makes it easy to deploy this form on your agency's website, in a recruiting text or email, or on a tablet at job fairs. Submissions go directly to your inbox with all fields clearly labeled. There are no submission limits, no CAPTCHA friction for candidates, and no per-seat fees — just a clean, professional form that works.

Best practices for your staffing agency candidate registration

Require work authorization status upfront

it prevents wasted time matching candidates to jobs they can't legally fill.

Use multi-select checkboxes for skills

candidates often have overlapping competencies across industries and letting them choose multiple options gives you richer data.

Capture shift availability precisely

broad 'flexible' answers make scheduling harder; the more specific the options, the easier it is to match urgent placements.

Include transportation status for field and industrial roles

for warehouse, manufacturing, or construction placements, this determines whether a candidate is viable at a given site.

Get compliance consents in the form

collecting background check and drug test consents digitally creates a time-stamped record and removes a manual step later in the process.

Keep optional fields optional

address, secondary skills, and certifications can be filled in later; requiring everything upfront increases form abandonment.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a resume upload field to this form?

Resumes can come through the form directly. Add an Upload field in the editor and candidates attach a PDF or Word file, with a 2 MB cap per file — plenty for a typical resume. If you'd rather collect a link instead, a short text field works well for a hosted resume or LinkedIn profile; with uploads built in, that's a matter of preference rather than a workaround.

How do I get notified when a new candidate registers?

Every form submission triggers an instant email notification to your registered email address with all the candidate's details. You can also view all submissions organized in your formformform dashboard.

Can I embed this form on my staffing agency's website?

Yes. After customizing the form, you get an embed code (iframe) and a direct share link. Paste the iframe code anywhere on your website — it works with WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, and custom sites.

Is this form compliant with employment law?

The form collects consent language for background checks and drug tests, which is a good foundation. However, you should have your legal counsel review the full intake process to ensure compliance with FCRA, state-specific laws, and any industry regulations applicable to your agency.

Can I create different versions for different industries?

Yes. You can clone this template and customize the skills checkboxes, shift options, and pay rate ranges for specific verticals — one version for light industrial, another for IT staffing, another for healthcare. Each is a separate form with its own link.
