Why does the company require you to fill out the interview application form before the interview?

A few days ago, a friend asked me why HR asked candidates to fill out an interview application form during the interview. Why not write a resume?

1. There are too many contents to fill in the application form, which are all on your resume. What if I have no patience to write?

A: Filling in the application form before the interview can not only relieve the pressure and tension brought by the new environment, but also comb the contents of your resume again and deepen your impression.

2. Some of the information I filled in involves my personal privacy, and I'm afraid it will be leaked. Do you want to write?

A: Professional HR will not disclose information, but only use it for analysis and reference, and will destroy the information regularly and will not disclose it.

Resume is a general method for job seekers to provide background information and self-presentation to enterprises, and there is no strict and unified specification.

The advantage of resume lies in its flexible form, which is beneficial for job seekers to fully show themselves. However, due to the lack of standardization and randomness of the content, it is sometimes impossible to provide all the information that enterprises are concerned about systematically and comprehensively. In addition, resumes may tend to exaggerate themselves, which requires employers to check and confirm the information provided.

On the contrary, the application form can overcome the above shortcomings of the resume and provide the information that enterprises pay attention to in a systematic and detailed way, so enterprises will design an interview application form to match the resume.

Enterprises will design an application form according to the recruitment needs and concerns, and the content of the application form will generally include five aspects:

1. Personal information: name, gender, age, education background, family members, residence, domicile, etc.

2. Work experience: the applicant's past work experience, positions held in past work, achievements, etc. ;

3. Job-hunting motivation: job stability, job migration times, reasons for leaving, professional values, etc.

4. Other information: hobbies, related training, mastering skills, self-evaluation, professional activities, etc.

5. Countersign opinions: the evaluation of candidates by the recruitment department of the enterprise and the evaluation of candidates by the employing department.

1. Judge whether the resume is true or false: discard the false and keep the true, and compare whether there is fabrication in the experience through the application form;

2. Whether the information is true: such as working hours, working stages, positions, achievements, etc. ;

3. It is convenient for personnel analysis: you can see the key points you want to know, which is convenient for analyzing candidates;

4. It is conducive to enterprise archiving: the application form is unified, which avoids the problem of resume format and is convenient for archiving;

5. Candidate's attitude: the handwriting is scrawled and there is a large area of blank. Think about it or reconsider it.

If you have good ideas, please write to me at any time and look forward to your good suggestions.
