HTML + Job Application

Built for HTML developers who hate operating a backend.

Plain HTML sites have zero built-in form delivery — mailto: links open broken email clients, shared-hosting PHP is vanishing, and setting up Node just for a contact form is overkill. splitforms gives you a production-grade submission pipeline from a single <form action>. No build step, no framework lock-in, no server-side code. The job application on this page posts standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded data — the same format browsers have used since 1999 — so it works on every host from GitHub Pages to S3 to Apache.

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.

How SplitForms works

What happens after someone submits your form?

splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Where can submissions go besides email?

On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Common questions

Job Application on HTML — answered.

View all FAQs

Does this job application work on HTML?

Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any HTML site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a HTML page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.

How much does the job application cost on HTML?

Free for 500 submissions — no credit card, no time limit. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions a month, and Annual is $49/year for 15,000 submissions a month. 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 rule-based filter scores the rest; anything that looks like spam goes to a separate Spam tab instead of your inbox. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on HTML 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 HTML 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' rule-based spam filter catches the automated spam. 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.
