This time is important for payroll, billing, performance reviews, and accountability.\n\nBut when time tracking is done manually, problems quickly appear. Employees may enter wrong hours, forget to mark billable work, **submit timesheets** too early, or miss overtime. Approvals also become slow and confusing.\n\nThis is where **[Formester](\u002Ftemplates\u002Fcategories\u002Femployee-management\u002F)** makes timesheet management simple and reliable.\n\n## Why traditional timesheets fail\n\n**Most teams still rely on spreadsheets**. This works at first, but quickly breaks as teams grow.\n\nThere is no daily visibility. Managers only see data after submission. Errors stay hidden until it is too late.\n\nThis leads to payroll mistakes, billing issues, and wasted time.\n\n### Creating a weekly timesheet in Formester\n\nTo fix this, start by creating a weekly timesheet in Formester. This timesheet captures work from Monday to Saturday.\n\nIt collects all the details needed to review employee work in one place. Project, task, hours, and billable status are clearly recorded.\n\nThis single form is used throughout the week.\n\n### How to create the weekly timesheet form\n\nYou can create the timesheet in two simple ways.\n\n#### Option 1. Use the AI form generator\n![a screenshot of ai form builder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002F212_16ef49df01.png)\n\nFormester comes with an **[AI form generator](\u002Fai-form-generator\u002F)** to save time.\n\n- Open the form builder and choose AI form generator.\n\n- Enter a simple prompt like create a weekly employee timesheet.\n\n- The AI will automatically create a structured timesheet form for you.\n\n- You can review the form and edit fields as needed.\n\n#### Option 2. Create the form manually\n![a screenshot of form builder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002F213_538798ed9e.png)\n\nIf you want full control, you can build the timesheet step by step.\n\n- Add a matrix element to your form.\n\n- Open the matrix properties.\n\n- Change the input type to multi type columns.\n\n- Add days of the week as rows. For example Monday to Saturday.\n\n**Add columns for time tracking details such as**\n\n- Log in time\n\n- Log out time\n\n- Project name\n\n- Task worked on\n\n- Hours worked\n\n- Billable\n\n**Now customize each column input type.**\n\n- Set project name and task worked on as text fields.\n\n- Set hours worked as a number field.\n\n- Set billable as a checkbox.\n\n- Set log in and log out time as time inputs if needed.\n\nThis setup allows employees to enter daily work in a clean table format.\n\n### Logging work daily without submission\n![a screenshot of form builder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002F214_4eb4e5a571.png)\n\nEmployees update the same timesheet every day. Each row works like a daily time log. All rows together form one weekly timesheet. To support this, enable **[save and continue](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fsave-and-continue\u002F)** in the form settings. Employees can fill their work for the day, close the form, and return later. Their progress is saved automatically.\n\n### Tracking employee progress in real time\n![a screenshot of form builder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002F215_b394b78d4d.png)\n\nEnable **[partial submissions](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fpartial-submissions\u002F)** to track progress. This allows you to see who has started filling their timesheet and who has not updated their work. You get visibility during the week, not after it ends.\n\n### Preventing early timesheet submission\n![a screenshot of form builder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002F216_7345b2aa95.png)\n\nTo stop early submissions, add a small text field before the submit button. Disable this field by default. As long as it is disabled, employees cannot submit the form. They can update daily, but submission stays under admin control.\n\n### Sending unique timesheet links to employees\n![a screenshot of form builder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002F217_b62e781410.png)\n\nAvoid sharing one common link. Use Formester to create a **[unique URL](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fgenerate-unique-form-submission-url-for-each-respondent\u002F)** for each employee.\n\n- Bulk import employee email addresses.\n\n- Generate private links automatically.\n\n- Send links using a custom email.\n\n**Each employee now has their own timesheet.**\n\n### Enabling submission at the end of the week\n\nAt the end of the week, enable the disabled text field. Publish the form again. Employees can now submit their completed weekly timesheet in one click.\n\n### Reviewing timesheets in one place \nOpen the results section after submission. All timesheets appear in a single dashboard. Use filters to find missing entries, overtime, or unusual hours. This makes reviews fast and simple.\n\n### Sending timesheets for approval\n\nIf something looks off, mark it for review. Send selected submissions to managers for approval. You can also **[invite HR or finance teams into Formester](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fcollaborative-forms\u002F)** and give them review access.\n\n### Preparing for the next week\n\nOnce the week ends, clone the timesheet. Rename it with the new date, make sure all settings remain enabled then repeat the same process for the following weeks.\n\n### Final thoughts\n\nManaging employee timesheet approval does not need to be complicated. With **[Formester](https:\u002F\u002Fapp.formester.com\u002Fusers\u002Fsign_up)**, you avoid errors, save time, and gain full visibility. If you manage payroll, billing, or performance tracking, Formester helps you keep everything simple, accurate, and transparent.\n",1214,630,{"text":28},"4 min read",[30,48,101,120],{"title":31,"author":7,"authorImage":8,"authorProfile":9,"coverImg":32,"coverImgAlt":33,"createdAt":34,"description":35,"featured":14,"jsonld":36,"keywords":37,"metaDescription":38,"metaImage":39,"metaTitle":40,"publishedAt":41,"slug":42,"updatedAt":43,"__hash__":44,"body":45,"id":46,"coverImgWidth":25,"coverImgHeight":26,"readingStats":47},"How to Embed Online Forms in Wix","https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002FHow_to_Make_User_Research_Survey_29_7812675a14.png","a blog post cover about how to embed online form in wix website","2025-10-01T04:28:02.453Z","Learn how to embed your forms in Wix websites with Formester.

This is a good way to get leads. It also helps you **gather feedback **and manage event sign-ups.\n\nMany people find it hard to choose a form builder. They want one that helps them design attractive forms. The forms should match their brand and convert visitors into customers.\n\nThis article will help you learn how to create and manage online forms. You will also see how to customize their design and layout. Finally, you will find out how to add them to your Wix web page easily. \n\nBy the end, you will be able to publish a fully embedded form that blends seamlessly into your site and supports your business goals.\n\n## Why Add Online Forms to Your Wix Website?\n**[Online forms](\u002Ftemplates\u002F)** are more than just a way to collect information. When done right, they can:\n\n- Capture qualified leads directly from your website\n\n- Track prospects and manage follow-ups after someone submits a form\n\n- Streamline registrations, surveys, and feedback collection\n\n- Make your site more interactive and professional\n\n- Save time with automation and integrations\n\nInstead of using limited or premade forms with few options, you can rely on Formester. With it, you can make custom forms. You can add rules that change based on answers. You can publish your form as a standalone or embed it on your Wix site.\n\n### Step 1: Create a Landing Page in Wix\nBefore you add your form, you’ll need a dedicated page where the form will live. In Wix:\n\n- Log in to your site dashboard.\n\n- Create a new page (or edit an existing landing page).\n\n- Decide which section of the page will host your form.\n\nPut your form in a good spot to get the most attention. You can place it at the top of the page or after an important service description.\n\n### Step 2: Build a Form in Formester\nNext, create your form. With Formester, you can generate forms instantly **[using AI](\u002Fai-form-generator\u002F)**. For example, type **“create a contact us form,”** and your form is ready in seconds.\n\n**From there, you can:**\n\n- Add essential form fields like name, email, and phone number\n\n- Include advanced features such as add conditional rules or response limits\n\n- Set up email alerts when someone submits a form\n\nThis approach saves time while giving you the flexibility to create and manage forms that suit your exact needs.\n\n### Step 3: Customize the Design and Layout\nA consistent design and layout makes your form feel like part of your website. To do this:\n\n- In the Wix editor, double-click on text elements to note the font style and size.\n\n- Apply the same style in your Formester form under the design tab.\n\n- Copy your button color from Wix and update the button styling in Formester.\n\nWhen you use form pages or embed a form, matching your site’s style builds trust and improves user experience.\n\n### Step 4: Embed the Form in Wix\nWhen your form is ready, it’s time to add it to your site. You can use either the embed code or the Formester Wix app.\n\n**Here’s how with the app:**\n\n- Publish your form in Formester.\n\n- Go to the Import tab and select Wix.\n\n- Install the app, which opens your Wix content management system.\n\n- From the editor, click the plus (+) icon, select App Widgets, and choose Formester.\n\n- Paste your form code or URL into the widget.\n\nYou can now resize and move the form anywhere on your web page. If you prefer, you can even keep it as a standalone form and link to it directly.\n\n### Step 5: Publish and Test\nFinally, click Publish in Wix to make your changes live. Then submit a test entry to make sure your form submission appears correctly in the Formester dashboard. You’ll be able to view and manage every entry, export results, or trigger automated workflows.\n\n### Final Thoughts\nEmbedding online forms in Wix is easy once you know the steps. With **[Formester](\u002F)**, you get more than just basic forms, you get customizable, branded, and high-converting solutions. If you want to collect information, run surveys, or capture leads, an embedded form on your Wix site can help. It will engage visitors and grow your business.\n\nReady to get started?

Reading resumes, checking skills, and shortlisting candidates can take hours or even days.\n\nThis gets even harder when you do not use an ATS and rely only on manual review.\n\n**But what if your job application form could screen candidates for you using AI?**\n\nIn this guide, you will learn how **[AI job application forms](\u002Ftemplates\u002Fcategories\u002Fjob-application-forms\u002F)** work, when to use them, and how to build one using Formester. This helps you find the right candidates faster without extra software.\n\n## What Is an AI Job Application Form?\n\nAn AI job application form collects candidate details and automatically screens applications using AI. It reviews answers, compares them with an ideal candidate profile, assigns a match score, and helps you identify strong applicants without manual effort.\n\nInstead of reading every application one by one, you can sort and filter candidates based on how well they match your role.\n\n### When Should You Use AI for Job Application Screening\n\nAI job application forms are ideal when you receive a high volume of applications. They help keep screening consistent, reduce bias, and save time for hiring teams.\n\nThese forms are especially useful for startups, small teams, or recruiters who want to skip complex ATS tools and still shortlist candidates quickly and fairly.\n\n### Common Use Cases for AI Job Application Forms\n\nYou can use AI job application forms in many hiring situations.\n\n- Screening large volumes of job applications.\n\n- Shortlisting candidates for technical or non technical roles.\n\n- Hiring without using an ATS.\n\n- Early stage filtering before interviews.\n\n- Ranking candidates based on skill match.\n\n\nThey allow hiring teams to focus more on interviews and decisions instead of sorting applications.\n\n### How to Create an AI Job Application Form with Formester?\n\n- **Create your job application form** using the **[AI form generator](\u002Fai-form-generator\u002F)** or a **[free pre built template](\u002Ftemplates\u002F)** in Formester and customize it for your role. \n\n- Publish the form and share the application link with candidates.\n\n- **Go to Automate** and open **[AI Workflows](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fai-workflows\u002F)**, then create a new workflow, give it a name, and choose when it should run, either on new submissions or manually.\n\n- **In the prompt section**, tell the AI to screen applicants, compare responses with an ideal candidate checklist, score applications, and add the score to the results using only submitted data.\n\n**Example Prompt:**\n```\nYou are a hiring assistant screening candidates for a software developer position.\n\nFirst, create an ideal software developer candidate checklist. The checklist should include core programming skills, relevant experience, frameworks and tools knowledge, problem solving ability, code quality, and communication skills.\n\nNext, review each job application using this checklist. For every applicant, compare their responses with the checklist and assign a score from 1 to 10 based on how closely they match the ideal candidate.\n\nAdd this score as a new column named Candidate Match Score in the results tab.\n\nUse the same scoring standard for all applicants. Only evaluate based on the information provided in the application. Do not guess or add missing details.\n```\n\n- **Once everything is set**, create the workflow to automatically screen every new job application  \n\n### How to Test and Review Screening Results\n\n- Submit a test job application  \n\n- Trigger the AI workflow using the test submission  \n\n- Go to the results tab and select columns like name, email, and candidate match score  \n\n- Sort or filter candidates based on their score to quickly find strong applicants  \n\nYou can also set filters such as match score greater than a certain number to speed up shortlisting.\n\n### Final Thoughts\n\n**Hiring does not have to be slow or manual.** AI job application forms help you screen candidates in minutes instead of hours.\n\nBy using job application forms with **AI workflows in Formester**, you save time, avoid complex ATS tools, and focus on choosing the right candidates.\n\nIf you want faster and smarter hiring, AI powered job application forms are a simple and powerful solution.\n\n\n","blog\u002Fblog\u002Fhow-to-automate-screening-with-ai-job-application-forms.md",{"text":119},"3 min read",{"title":121,"author":7,"authorImage":8,"authorProfile":9,"coverImg":122,"coverImgAlt":123,"createdAt":124,"description":125,"featured":14,"jsonld":126,"keywords":173,"metaDescription":139,"metaImage":174,"metaTitle":175,"publishedAt":176,"slug":177,"updatedAt":178,"__hash__":179,"body":180,"id":181,"coverImgWidth":182,"coverImgHeight":183,"readingStats":184},"35 Reference Check Questions Hiring Managers Actually Ask","https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Freference_check_questions_8b6e7cd1a3.png","Reference check questions for hiring managers","2026-06-29T11:30:37.269Z","35 reference check questions that real hiring managers ask, grouped by what you want to learn, with red flags to listen for and legal notes.",[127,144],{"@type":128,"image":122,"author":129,"@context":131,"headline":121,"publisher":132,"description":139,"dateModified":140,"datePublished":140,"mainEntityOfPage":141},"Article",{"url":9,"name":7,"@type":130},"Person","https:\u002F\u002Fschema.org",{"url":133,"logo":134,"name":137,"@type":138},"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002F",{"url":135,"@type":136},"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002Flogo.png","ImageObject","Formester","Organization","35 reference check questions that real hiring managers ask, grouped by what you actually want to learn.

Pick 8 to 12 questions before the call, ask open-ended versions of them, listen for the silences, and compare answers across references. A 15-minute call that confirms what the interview suggested is worth more than another round of technical questions. A 15-minute call that surfaces a contradiction is worth more than any single test you could run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Csection class=\"faq\">\n\u003Ch2>Reference check questions FAQ\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>How many reference check questions should I ask?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cdiv>Pick 8 to 12 from the list above and let the call run 15 to 20 minutes.

For junior or contract roles, two can be enough. Aim for at least one manager every time.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fdetails>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>Should I ask about salary in a reference check?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cdiv>You can confirm the salary range the candidate said they earned, but you cannot ask the reference what they think the candidate is worth.
