Capture the role and level
Required: job title, department, seniority (entry / mid / senior / lead / exec), employment type (permanent / contract / temp), headcount. Seniority drives the salary band and the sourcing channel.

Recruitment Form Template
Recruiters waste hours on vague 'we need a developer' briefs. The recruitment form forces the hiring manager to define the role, level, salary band, and deadline — so the search starts with a real brief, not a wishlist.

No backend code
No server, API route, or SDK — your Recruitment Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Straight to your inbox
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
Copy-paste ready
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Recruitment Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
Your Recruitment Form, ready to paste.
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
How to add a Recruitment Form to your site.
To add a Recruitment Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Capture must-haves and budget
Top 3 must-have skills, nice-to-haves, salary range or bill rate, location (on-site / hybrid / remote), and target start date. The salary field is non-negotiable — searches without a budget waste everyone's time.
Route to the recruiting team
Webhook the brief into your ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) as a new requisition, or into Bullhorn / Vincere for agencies. Recruiter starts sourcing against a real brief, not a hallway conversation.
What's included
What's in this Recruitment Form template?
Every internal recruiter and agency account manager knows the bottleneck: hiring managers who can't articulate what they're hiring for. The role-brief form forces the conversation before the search — title, seniority, must-have skills, salary band, location, and deadline. Without those fields, recruiters spend two weeks sourcing the wrong candidates and lose the hiring manager's trust. With them, the shortlist arrives in days. For agencies, the same form is the client intake that scopes the placement fee and exclusivity terms. Salary band and must-have skills up front — recruiters source against a real brief, not a wishlist.
- Job application — 6 ready-made fields
- HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
- One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and classifier, no CAPTCHA
Where submissions go
Where do your Recruitment Form submissions go?
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.
- Reply-to wired to the visitor's email — reply straight from your inbox
- Honeypot and spam classifier filter bots, no CAPTCHA friction
- Live dashboard, CSV export, and signed webhooks on paid plans

Testimonials
Loved by developers shipping at every scale.
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
Recruitment Form questions.
View all FAQsShould the salary band be visible to candidates?
Increasingly yes — pay-transparency laws in NY, CA, CO, WA, and the EU require salary ranges in job postings. Capture the band on the internal brief form; publish it on the public job ad. The internal form is where the band gets agreed between hiring manager, finance, and talent acquisition.
How do we handle approvals for new roles?
The form is the requisition — capture hiring-manager justification, budget code, and headcount approval. Webhook into Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or your approval tool (Pipefy, Process Street) so finance and leadership sign off before the recruiter starts sourcing. No approval, no search.
What about executive vs high-volume hiring?
Different forms, different workflows. Executive searches need a confidential brief, comp benchmarking, and a retained-fee structure — capture those fields separately. High-volume hiring (retail, warehouse, customer service) needs shift patterns, location count, and ramp timeline. Branch the form on seniority.
Can this integrate with Bullhorn, Vincere, Ashby?
Yes — webhook the JSON. Bullhorn and Vincere (agency CRMs) and Ashby / Greenhouse / Lever (in-house ATS) all accept inbound via API or Zapier. The brief lands as a job order or requisition with the must-haves and salary band pre-filled.
How do we set realistic deadlines?
Capture the hiring manager's target start date AND the recruiter's realistic time-to-fill for that role (industry benchmarks: 30-45 days for individual contributors, 60-90 days for senior, 90-120 days for exec). The form surfaces the gap and forces a conversation before the search stalls.
