Blackthorn.io application questions — all 19, word for word
Blackthorn.io hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 19 questions, 17 of them required. None of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
3 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and product. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
