SELECT R.*,A.* FROM [RECRUIT] AS R LEFT JOIN [AUTHORIZATION] A ON R.FORM_ID=A.FORM_ID

Should be as simple as below.

SELECT R.*, A.*, C.*
FROM [RECRUIT] AS R
LEFT JOIN [AUTHORIZATION] A
ON R.FORM_ID = A.FORM_ID
LEFT JOIN [CONFIRMATION] C
ON R.FORM_ID = C.FORM_ID

Just add at the end of your current query the following:

SQL
SELECT R.*,A.*,C.*
FROM [RECRUIT] AS R 
LEFT JOIN [AUTHORIZATION] A ON R.FORM_ID=A.FORM_ID
LEFT JOIN [CONFIRMATION] C ON R.FORM_ID = C.FORM_ID




However, I don't know if you want the join criteria to be with R (Recruit) or with A (Authorization).
Look for the best scenario below:



if you do...
SQL
... LEFT JOIN [CONFIRMATION] C ON R.FORM_ID = C.FORM_ID

... then you'll get C if it exists in R, even when A doen't exist



if you do...
SQL
... LEFT JOIN [CONFIRMATION] C ON A.FORM_ID = C.FORM_ID

... then you'll get C if it exists in A, ONLY when A exists too.



Finally, if you need C if and only if both R and A exist, then you should use...
SQL
... LEFT JOIN [CONFIRMATION] C ON R.FORM_ID = C.FORM_ID AND A.FORM_ID = C.FORM_ID
