Best Practices for Human Resources Forms

Move Paper-Based Workflow to Digital

To downsize paperwork, start every evaluation, survey, or any other HR poll online. All the AidaForm templates are entirely online, which means you are able to fill out and submit a form using any of your devices, receive results in PDF format and keep them on hand as a digital database.

Incorporate Forms Into the Hiring Process

A well-organized staff data sheet, employment inquiry form or other customized documents tailored for HR use will help you collect all the essential info starting from the pre-hiring step. AidaForm’s templates will help you gather personal details for the required new hire papers like Form W-4 or I-9. Avoid duplicating work and include obligatory questions in your standard employee form (like full name, marital status, address and SSN).

Attachments Are Important

With a single form, you can collect both responses and files — such as identification photos, official government-issued credentials, driver authorizations, residency or work permits, professional certificates and other documents required to complete an employee’s profile. As part of the recruiting process, you can request a resume and motivation letter to be uploaded as part of the submission. It’s easier than it sounds! Just drag and drop AidaForm’s special File Upload field into the form.

Keep Questions Neutral

Avoid discriminating questions about ethnicity, religious groups, disabilities, age or gender. Check twice to eliminate any unnecessary details that won’t actually help improve the work process. Personal data that do not affect job safety or efficiency should not be part of HR forms.

Ask for a Digital Signature

You got it right! Even if an applicant completes the form online, it doesn’t mean they cannot sign it. Personal signatures are preferable to prove the original consent of an employee to share their personal data. Besides, it’s convenient to have reference signatures on file. Use AidaForm’s Signature field, allowing applicants to sign the form directly from handheld mobile devices like phones or tablets.

Ensure Legal Compliance When Handling Personal Data

Human resources management operates with a lot of personal data. An accurate Privacy Statement is an essential component of legal employment, collecting and analyzing personal data. When the form is submitted, employees can review and consent to your company’s data collection and usage policies — including what information is gathered, how it is processed, whether it is shared with third parties, what kinds of protective measures are in place to avoid data breaches or misuse and any other security protocols or compliance standards your applicants should be aware of. AidaForm has designed a convenient Terms and Conditions checkbox that you can use as the Privacy Policy Statement and supplement it with your company’s privacy policy link.

Opt for Convenient Rating Scales

Responses should not only be collected but also evaluated and analyzed. To make this possible, use evident rating scales and metrics. We frequently enhance AidaForm’s free templates by integrating interactive visual tools — such as numeric sliders, rating scales, matrix grids and scoring elements. All of these fields are available within AidaForm’s Builder and turn a raw questionnaire into an engaging survey with a clear rating system and convenient given answers.
