Who this template is for
Probation Review is built for HR, people ops and hiring managers who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record.
- HR, people ops and hiring managers working in human resources.
- Teams who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are candidates and employees — the form asks them 29 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 20 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 5 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

- Features conditional validation: if “Were objectives set at the start of probation?” is No, “Objectives being set now” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is this the final review?” is No, “Date of the next review” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 5 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How is this different from a performance review?
A probation review ends in a pass, extend or fail decision against a fixed contractual date. An annual review does not.
Can it be used for an interim check?
Yes. Mark it as an interim review and set the date of the next one, so nothing relies on memory.
Does it handle notice if employment is not confirmed?
No. It records the decision and reasons; notice and any process obligations follow your own contract and policy.
Should the employee see it?
Yes. There is an employee comments box and a countersignature, which is what makes the record two-sided.
Is the Probation Review template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Probation Review on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
What does the Probation Review template ask for?
It asks 29 questions across 3 pages, 20 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
Can I edit the Probation Review form after copying it?
Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

Can I embed the Probation Review form on my own website?
Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.
