In any recruitment advertisement, you should clearly specify the method by which you wish applicants to apply for the post and, in particular, whether candidates are required to complete an application form or submit a CV and covering letter.
The advantage of requiring candidates to complete an application form is that information is presented in a standard format. This makes it easier to assess each application objectively against the personal specification on the Job Description Form. If you have a lot of applications, having a standard employment application form template enables the recruiter quickly to sift through applications, focusing on some of the more important questions on the form.
