# Understanding Form types

When you create a form in the Form Builder, you select a form type that determines the purpose and behaviour of the form. The Form Builder supports nine form types; each designed for a different stage of your hiring or organisational workflow.

In this article, you'll learn what each form type is used for and how to choose the right one.

***

### Available Form types:

* **Pre-Registration**: capture candidate interest and basic details before the official registration process opens.
* **Event Registration**: collect attendee information and confirm participation for an upcoming event or session.
* **Candidate Application**: gather candidate profile, background, and job-application details for a specific role.
* **Evaluation Form**: rate and record structured feedback on a candidate's performance against defined criteria.
* **Assessment Form**: capture scores and observations from a skills-based or knowledge-based assessment.
* **Post-Assessment Feedback**: collect candidate or evaluator feedback on the assessment experience after completion.
* **Survey**: gather general opinions, ratings, or insights from a target audience on a specific topic.
* **Enterprise Workflow Form**: configure multi-step forms to support internal enterprise processes and approvals.
* **Custom**: build a form from scratch with fully customisable fields to suit any unique requirement.
