Hi members,
I work as an HR professional in an IT company. At my company, new joiners are required to fill out an application form. Is this correct?
I believe that an application form should only be completed when applying for a job or during an interview, but that is not the practice here.
I would like to know which forms need to be filled out at the time of joining. If anyone has such forms, please share them with me.
Kindly guide me on this matter.
Thank you.

Dear Bharti,
I am working in an edible oil firm, and it is one among the industries that are very sensitive in terms of recruitment and operations functioning.
We have developed a number of forms right from calling the candidate to his joining and then induction orientation.
Forms we use in the recruitment process steps:
1. Telephonic Interview (HR) - It includes Name, DOB, Native location, current location, Present and Past Employment details with the reason for change, Experience in years, Family details, Salary (current and expected), and interviewer comments.
2. Technical Telephonic Interview (by Technical Head) - Includes whether to call the candidate for PI or not. The purpose is to check the technical knowledge. (As To and Fro expenses will not be wasted as it increases the cost of recruitment)
3. Application Form - Includes Personal Details, Permanent and Temporary Address, Qualification details, Family details, Experience details, Membership of any association, salary details, have the candidate ever interviewed before any of our sister concerns, sources from which the candidate came to know about the vacancy, References from Past and present employer.
4. Hiring decision Form (Filled by Interviewer) - It includes questions related to Job knowledge, Skills, whether to put the candidate on hold or not, rejected or selected with reason.
5. Reference verification Form (IF SELECTED) - if references are positive then forward for the next step. (Position sensitive)
6. Checklist of Required Documents - Includes details of documents required.
7. Undertaking Form (To be filled on the day of Joining) - Includes the designation and unit in which the candidate is joining. He/she writes the salary and signs in his/her handwriting to avoid any future problems related to salary and mid-term increment.
Finally, the appointment letters, PF form, etc., whatever the legal requirements are as per the designation.

Mates, I appreciate the inputs you have provided to Bharati along with details and forms & formats but please consider the statement "new joiners must fill application form".
See, Bharati is working with an IT firm, and certainly, they may also be aware of the procedures and work supposed to be performed after the recruitment of an employee. As PON said, the application form should be filled by a candidate before the interview, and we all are aware of that too. But let me ask a question from Bharati. Do you have any rules to fill the application form from an employee before joining, or does it come under the "Joining Formalities for a new employee"?
The inputs were based on how, when, and why we use this application form, but no one has inquired about why this is happening. Maybe they'd have some rules to get the Application Form signed by the employee while making an "Employee File" just for formalities.
Well, let me ask you Bharati. Is it so? Did you find the same rule or what? Well, it seems your query has been resolved. Again, I would offer my thanks to all of you for your inputs in this regard.

Mr. Anil Kr Arora,
Thank you for your reply. I joined this company just 2 months ago. The ex-HR followed this procedure and asked me to do the same. There are no such rules to follow this.
Until now, I haven't noticed that. However, this month, a new candidate is going to join. So, while preparing the formalities, I had this doubt. I know that the application form must be filled out while applying for the post, but I just want to clarify my doubt.
I have attached the form. Kindly go through it and guide me on whether this suits the requirement or not.

I am not getting what you mean. I said the structure and the details asked for in the form seem to be in order. If you want to add or delete anything in the form according to your requirements, you can do so.

Dear Bharati,
I would suggest you not to do anything that puts you in danger. You are new to the team in your organization. You have also mentioned that your old and senior colleagues have asked you to do the same as they are doing, and you are not in a position of authority to question this, but you can approach them in an amiable manner about it.
I have gone through the attachment and found nothing strange. It is in the same normal format that we use but presented in a different style and formatting, which is obvious.
It's good that you have noticed this, and I appreciate it, but you should not speak too much about it as it could create problems for you. I am referring to the culture and environment of an organization for a new employee like you who needs to observe and understand how things are done initially.
Just keep your eyes open, learn as much as you can, maintain good relationships with your colleagues and superiors, do what is expected from you, and strive to perform well. It's your time, so make the best of it.
Good Luck
