Because application forms are considered employment tests by the EEOC, employers mustbe certain that the information requested on them is both job related and a valid predictorof success in the position. A key benefit to using a standard application form is the inclusionof a statement signed by the applicant stating that the information contained in thedocument is true and complete. This statement can be useful in the event that an employerbecomes aware of misstatements or discrepancies subsequent to hiring a candidate.
