I’m hiring my first part-time employee and need a basic employment application PDF I can print for applicants. Does anyone have a decent template that isn’t cluttered with unnecessary sections? ---

That is a bit annoying, most free ones seem to add pages of irrelevant questions. I’d keep it to contact details, availability, work history, references, right-to-work confirmation and a signature/date box. I made a simple one-page version for tutoring help before, and applicants were far more likely to complete it properly when it stayed on one sheet. ---

Had the same thing last month when we needed extra help on a job. I made a basic one in Word with just name, phone, previous work, and a line for them to sign. Then I saved it as PDF so it prints clean. Not sure if that’s too simple but it wasn’t cluttered. ---

When I hired a helper for my notary work, I just built the form in Word and saved it as a PDF. Name, address, phone, work history, references, signature and date. That’s it, one page, and I printed 10 copies. Happy to share what mine looked like if you want. ---

I remember hiring my first labourer and wanting to keep the paperwork simple. I usually just type up a basic form in Word with contact info and work history, then save it as a PDF. If you find a free template online with too much clutter, just upload it to PDFcap and delete the sections you don’t need. What kind of business are you hiring for? ---

[noobPhantom07](https://altosignpdf.com/community/u/noobPhantom07/3) That’s pretty much what I do at the library when patrons need a quick form, Word to PDF prints just fine. One tip, leave extra blank space for handwritten answers, since applicants write bigger then you’d think. Avoid squeezing everything into tiny boxes, I learned that the hard way when half the answers ended up scribbled in the margins.
