When you are job
vacancy advertising, deciding whether to supply applicants with an application
form to fill in or whether to ask them to supply you with a copy of their own
curriculum vitae may seem like a minor aspect of the application process but
both forms of applying can tell you a lot about the applicant.
When job vacancy
advertising there are pros and cons to both; a well written CV that is well
presented, not obviously taken from a template and has flawless grammar and
spelling could mean that the applicant is intelligent, organised and takes
great care in their work. However, it may not give you the specific job role
related answers you may be looking for. Incorporating an application form of
questions into your job vacancy advertising will allow you to tailor the
application process to suit your needs. You can be more specific and get
answers that will be related to the specifics of the job role in order to gauge
the perfect suitability of applicants. Using an application form though can
take away some of the applicants initiative and they may not be able to impress
you as much as if they had presented you with a perfect curriculum vitae.
Deciding between
the two forms of application is not the be all and end all though and a poorly
completed CV or application form may not always indicate a poor or unsuitable candidate
so it is wise to keep an open mind when you are job vacancy advertising.
