A new hire starts Monday, a resignation lands Tuesday, and someone files an incident report Wednesday. Each one needs the same information from every person, captured the same way, in a record you can find again. Employment forms collect a fixed set of fields from candidates and employees, so your HR records stay accurate and your hiring and offboarding stay organized. These 22 templates cover the everyday paperwork: job applications, employee information, onboarding checklists, time-off requests, incident reports, write-ups, and reimbursements.

On SurveyMonkey, each form is built from typed fields, text, dropdown, date picker, number, multiple choice, checkbox, and file upload. A job application can take a resume directly through the file-upload field. Conditional logic shows or hides fields based on prior answers, so a write-up form reveals "reason for disciplinary action" only when that path applies. Required fields block any form from submitting with critical blanks.

Notifications email the right person the moment a form arrives, until then a new application or incident report could sit unseen. Submitted data lands in a response table you can export to CSV or Excel, and native integrations push it to Google Sheets, Slack, or your HRIS through Zapier. Forms render correctly on a phone for employees in the field or candidates at a job fair.

  1. Pick one of the 22 templates on this page, such as the employment application form or the employee information form, and open it in the builder.
  2. Adjust the field set to your use case by adding or removing text, dropdown, date, and number fields until the form asks only what this scenario needs.
  3. Add a file-upload field if you collect resumes, CVs, or supporting documents alongside the answers.
  4. Mark every critical field as required, and use conditional logic to reveal extra fields only when a prior answer calls for them.
  5. Apply your branding with a company logo, colors, and a custom thank-you message, then set notifications to email HR or the manager on each submission.
  6. Publish the form and review submissions in the response table, where you can filter, export to CSV or Excel, or send the data to Google Sheets or your HRIS.
  • Job application and candidate screening: Collect applicant details and a resume in one form, then route each submission to the hiring manager automatically.
  • New employee onboarding: Run an onboarding checklist and an employee information form on day one to capture banking, tax, and emergency-contact details in a single pass.
  • Incident and accident reports: Give staff a mobile-friendly form to log incidents in the moment, with required fields so no report submits half-finished.
  • Time-off and reimbursement requests: Standardize how employees request leave or submit expenses, and notify the approver the instant a request comes in.
  • Performance and self-evaluation: Send a self-evaluation form ahead of a review cycle so managers walk in with structured input rather than blank notes.
  • HR managers and coordinators: They own the record-keeping and want templates ready to customize, compliant field sets, and automated alerts so nothing slips. Most of this work sits with human resources teams managing the full employee lifecycle.
  • Small business owners handling their own HR: They want a form live in minutes with no design work and clear labels, usually on a free or Basic plan.
  • Operations and office managers: They run the day-to-day forms, time-off, reimbursements, and incident logs, and need each one to land where the team can find it.
  • Keep routine forms short: Forms of 1-10 fields complete at 98.7%; those past 21 fields drop to 79.2%, so ask only what the specific use case needs.
  • Make critical fields required: Required-field enforcement stops incomplete records before they reach your table, the most common cause of follow-up emails.
  • Turn on submission notifications: Email alerts on each submission mean HR sees a new application or incident report without checking the form manually.
  • Use conditional logic for complex forms: Show or hide fields based on prior answers so a disciplinary or write-up form stays short until the relevant section is triggered.
