recruiter [WIP]

Embeddable forms for recruiting usability research participants. Uses Google Tag Manager to load form UI and targeting, and a custom Google Apps Script to send submissions to a Google Sheet.

Components

• Google Sheets Template
• Google Tag Manager - account required
• U.S. Web Design System styles and form patterns guidance for accessibility.

Optional

• Integration with Google Analytics to send custom events when a user opens, closes, and submits the Recruiter form dialog.

Deploying

See Wiki

Default fields provided in this configuration:

Field name	Type	Description
Date	Timestamp	submission time and date
Name	String	First name
Email	String	Email address
UserAgent	String	OS + Version, Browser + version
URL*	String	URI of page where form was submitted
Referrer*	String	Referring page (how user arrived at PageURL

*Note: When deploying to sites where URLs contain references to content that may infer information of a personal or sensitive nature (e.g. visiting content related to medical conditions on NIH.gov), you may wish to omit passing the last two fields (URL and Referrer) to the Sheet. This can be done simply by removing the last two query parameters (&Referrer={{Referrer}}&URL={{Page URL}}) from the URL in the Recruiter to Google Sheet Custom Image Tag in GTM.

Warning: PIA, PRA or other privacy or security compliance issues may be triggered for any customized capture fields. Consult your agency's Chief Privacy Officer and/or PRA Desk Officer before deploying any customized form versions.
