The Public Forms Portal — How Applicants Submit

When you make an application form Public and Active, applicants can access it through the public forms portal — a clean, standalone website where they fill out and submit their applications.

What Applicants See

The forms portal is a separate website (e.g., forms.cohortos.io) with a simple, focused design.

When an applicant opens a form link, they see the application with all your custom fields:

The Applicant Experience

  2. They create a quick account (or log in if they have one)
  3. They fill out the form fields
