Why is it takardar and not takarda?

Because takarda is in a linked form before another noun phrase.

In Hausa, when one noun is followed by another noun or noun phrase to show a relationship like of or for, the first noun often changes form. Here:

• takarda = paper, document, letter
• takardar neman aiki = application document / job application

So takardar is basically takarda in its connected form before neman aiki.

The same thing happens later in buƙatar horo.
