The Basic Job Application Form is a fundamental document used in the initial stages of the recruitment process in Malta. It serves as a standardized method for collecting relevant information from job applicants while ensuring compliance with both Maltese employment law and EU regulations, particularly GDPR. This document is typically the first formal point of contact between a potential employer and candidate, designed to gather essential information about the applicant's qualifications, experience, and eligibility to work. The form must strike a balance between collecting necessary information for making informed hiring decisions and respecting data protection principles. It includes mandatory sections for personal details, work history, and educational background, while optional sections can be added based on specific role requirements. The document is structured to prevent discrimination and ensure equal opportunities in accordance with Maltese employment legislation.
