Button That Allows a New Entry in SharePoint

I have a button on the home page of my SharePoint site that when I click a button it takes me to a SharePoint List.  What I want it to do I by clicking the New Hire Entry list it would act like +New button in a SharePoint list.  Is that possible?

 

This is my button that has a link to take to the SharePoint list.

What I want to do is by clicking the New Hire Entry button it would essentially act like the +New button below. already opening up the form to enter data in.

    FlowTime1990 Generally, URL of new item form for SharePoint lists is in this format: 

     

    https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Lists/MyList/newform.aspx

     

    Generate URL in above format for your SharePoint list and use that URL for button on your SharePoint site home page.

     

    Format: <ListURL>/newform.aspx
