A job application form is a contact form with two extra requirements: file uploads for the resume (and optional cover letter), and structured fields for the role and qualifications. The trick is the `enctype="multipart/form-data"` attribute on the form — without it, file inputs don't actually upload. This is the #1 forgotten step.

splitforms supports file uploads on every plan, including free. Files up to 10 MB each, up to 5 files per submission. The uploaded resume lands as an email attachment AND is downloadable from the dashboard, AND is included in the webhook payload as a signed URL. No need for separate file-hosting setup.

Use the right input types for each field — `type="email"` for email (mobile keyboard, native validation), `type="tel"` for phone (numeric keypad on mobile), `type="url"` for LinkedIn. The `accept` attribute on file inputs filters the file picker to acceptable formats; pair with server-side validation since `accept` is advisory only.

For high-volume hiring, wire a webhook from splitforms to your ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable) so applications populate the pipeline automatically. The webhook payload includes the structured fields as JSON and the file attachments as signed URLs you can fetch.

File uploads on free tier, 10 MB per file, webhook to your ATS.
