Manage Form Templates to be Completed by Job Seekers

A library of Form Templates — for use during the job application process — is stored under Administrative Settings. An Administrator may update the library, as needed.

Administrative Tabs for Form Types

Form Templates are organized by the following types, each represented in balanceTRAK by a tab in the tab header:

  • Applications — Collect key information by applicant audience (e.g., Internal, External, International, Non-Exempt)
  • Assessments — Gauge the skill level of applicants in job-related tasks, with Pass or Fail scores
  • Prescreeners — Screen applicants on basic minimum requirements
  • Self-ID Forms — Collect voluntary information from the Job Seeker on race, gender, disability status, and protected Veteran status
  • Background Check Form — Collect additional information from the Job Seeker, as required for a background or credit check

On entry, each tab is similar in content and function; if tasks are specific to one type of form, they are described in this article.
