Job Application Form With Resume Upload

A resume upload is a normal form field with one requirement: the form's enctype must be multipart/form-data so the browser sends the file as binary data instead of trying to encode it as text. Nothing to configure on the FormBridge side beforehand — any <input type="file"> just works.

<form action="https://app.formbridge.ai/api/forms/fb_8h2k9p"
      method="POST"
      enctype="multipart/form-data">

  <label>Full name</label>
  <input name="full-name" required />

  <label>Email</label>
  <input type="email" name="email" required />

  <label>Position applying for</label>
  <input name="position" required />

  <label>Cover letter (optional)</label>
  <textarea name="cover-letter" rows="5"></textarea>

  <label>Resume</label>
  <input type="file" name="resume" accept=".pdf,.doc,.docx" required />

  <button type="submit">Submit application</button>
</form>

What happens to the file after it's submitted

FormBridge stores uploaded files encrypted and attaches a secure link to the submission in your inbox — you open the submission, click the link, and download the resume. There's no separate "file storage" toggle to flip on; it's active by default the moment a form includes a file input.

Watch your storage limit

Uploaded files count against your plan's total file storage, tracked live on the account Usage page — Free includes 1 GB, Pro 2 GB, Business 10 GB, and Enterprise a custom amount. A high-volume careers page collecting PDF resumes will burn through storage faster than a text-only contact form, so it's worth checking Usage periodically rather than only your monthly submission count.

Restrict file types at the input level

The accept attribute (accept=".pdf,.doc,.docx") is a client-side hint that filters what the browser's file picker shows — it doesn't stop a determined user from renaming a file, so don't treat it as validation. If you need to keep out obviously wrong uploads, pair the form with the spam protection layer under Form → Settings → Spam Protection (honeypot field, authorized domains, or CAPTCHA), which screens the whole submission before it reaches your inbox.

Route it straight to recruiting

If this application form lives on the same domain as your marketing site's contact form, give it its own FormBridge endpoint and its own recipient list under Email Settings → Notifications, so applications land with whoever's hiring instead of mixed into general inquiries.
