Applications
Recruit staff, event hosts or partners with application forms in Discord: members apply with a button, your team accepts or denies, and roles are given automatically.
By the end, you'll have
- An opening members apply to with a button
- A form of up to 20 questions
- Reviews that give roles and DM the applicant
Before you start
- A channel for the opening post and a staff-only review channel.
- Dreamliner with Send Messages, Embed Links and Manage Roles (above the roles it gives).
- Manage Server, so you can open the dashboard.
Applications run your recruitment inside Discord. Post an opening, members answer your questions in a form, and your team reviews each application in a private channel. It's free.
Up to 20 questions, 5 per page, with many answer types.
Accept or deny in Discord or on the dashboard.
Give or remove roles when someone is accepted.
Step 1 · about 5 min

- Press New opening, or start from a preset: Moderator, Event host, Partner or Helper.
- Under Opening, give it a Name and Description. Under Post, pick the channel and design the message and Apply button.
Step 2 · about 4 min
