React + Job Application

Built for React developers who hate operating a backend.

React ships nothing for form delivery — it's a view layer. The historical options are an Express server you stand up just for POST /api/contact, a Vercel serverless function with SMTP wiring, or a third-party library like Formik that still leaves the backend problem unsolved. The job application on this page uses useState for submit state and a plain fetch POST to splitforms — no form library, no context provider, no wrapper component. It works in Create React App, Vite, Remix, and every React bundler because it's just standard FormData and the Fetch API.

  • 500 form submissions total, free to start
  • Unlimited forms on every plan, including Free
  • Spam protection — honeypot plus a rule-based filter

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.

  • Capture role and basics
  • Receive resume upload
  • Webhook to Notion / Airtable

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 React — answered.

View all FAQs
Does this job application work on React?

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

How much does the job application cost on React?

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 React 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 React 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.
