</form>Astro + Job Application
Built for Astro developers who hate operating a backend.
Astro's static-first architecture means your form HTML ships pre-rendered with zero client JavaScript — perfect for fast page loads, but it also means you can't call a server-side endpoint on static hosts. splitforms is designed for exactly this: the browser POSTs directly to our edge endpoint, so the form works on Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, or any static host without an Astro API route. The job application is pure HTML — no <script> tag, no client component, no island. Astro's view transitions and partial hydration don't interfere with the form submission because it uses a standard browser POST.
- 200 form submissions total, free to start
- Unlimited forms on every plan, including Free
- Spam protection — honeypot plus a tuned classifier
Job Application fields
What every field actually does.
The posted payload contains full name, email, position you're applying for, linkedin / portfolio url, resume url, cover letter. Required fields are full name, email, position you're applying for and cover letter. Rename, remove, or add your own — splitforms accepts any name you POST.
- Full name — Greeting + dashboard label so submissions don't all read 'anonymous'.
- Email — Reply-to address — splitforms wires this so hitting reply goes back to the sender.
- Position you're applying for — Buyer-persona signal — IC vs decision-maker changes the follow-up cadence.
Template playbook
The reason this job application exists.
ATS subscriptions (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable) start at $6-15k/year for a small team — a lot of money for a startup that hires 2 engineers a year. A self-hosted application form on the careers page handles the inbound flow. The form captures name, email, role applying for, resume (PDF upload, often required), LinkedIn / portfolio URL, and a brief 'why us' textarea. The submission lands in the hiring manager's inbox or webhooks into Notion / Airtable / a Slack channel for triage. As soon as you're past 5 simultaneous open roles, an ATS pays off — until then, this works.
- Capture role and basics
- Receive resume upload
- Webhook to Notion / Airtable

Testimonials
Loved by developers shipping at every scale.
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“Email notifications on every plan, including free, was the deciding factor. I was about to pay a competitor purely to get an email when a lead came in.”
“The dashboard is genuinely usable. I can read, filter, and export submissions without exporting to a spreadsheet first. That alone saves me an hour a week.”
“We added file uploads to a job-application form and the attachments just showed up, retained and downloadable. No S3 bucket policy nightmare.”
“Honest pricing is rare. The $59 three-year plan meant I paid once and stopped thinking about it. No surprise renewal, no per-seat creep.”
“I shipped a React contact form in a Vite app in one sitting. The docs answered every question before I had to ask it.”
“Our WordPress site dropped its plugin-heavy form for a plain HTML one pointed at splitforms. The site got faster and the spam stopped.”
Common questions
Job Application on Astro — answered.
View all FAQsDoes this job application work on Astro?
Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Astro site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Astro page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.
How much does the job application cost on Astro?
Free for 200 submissions total — no credit card, no trial. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions, and there's a one-time $59 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/mo for 36 months). The same pricing applies regardless of which framework hosts the form.
Can I customize the fields?
Yes. The template ships with sensible defaults (full name, email, position you're applying for, linkedin / portfolio url…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.
How does spam protection work on the job application?
A hidden honeypot field catches dumb bots, and a tuned classifier scores the rest. You only see real submissions in your dashboard. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on Astro as on any other framework.
Can I send the job application submissions to Slack or Discord?
Yes. Webhooks are available on paid plans, with auto-formatted payloads for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp (via CallMeBot). Or send raw signed JSON to any URL — Zapier, n8n, your own server. Configure in the splitforms dashboard.
Will it work on a static Astro site?
Yes — the form posts directly to splitforms from the browser, so no server is involved. Works on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, S3, or any plain Apache host.
Is this EEOC / OFCCP compliant?
If you're under the regulated thresholds (15 employees for most EEOC requirements; federal contractor for OFCCP), basic forms are fine. If you're regulated, you need to collect voluntary self-ID demographics on a separate page (race, gender, veteran, disability) with explicit non-discrimination language. Your employment lawyer should review the final flow.
How do I avoid resume-spam from staffing agencies?
Hidden honeypot field plus splitforms' spam classifier catches most. For persistent agency spam, add a 'are you applying directly or through an agency?' radio — direct applications get the role-specific reply; agency applications get a 'we don't accept third-party submissions' auto-response.
Should I require a cover letter?
For senior or specialised roles, yes — quality goes up with the friction. For volume hiring (support, ops, junior eng), no — required cover letters drop application count 60-80% and the cover-letter quality is mostly noise anyway. Tune by role.
