Boulder Care application questions — all 61, word for word
Boulder Care hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 61 questions, 53 of them required. 2 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
21 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in healthcare and sales. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What Boulder Care has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as Boulder Care titles them, in United States, United States (Remote), Ohio, United States, United States - Remote:
- Communications Manager
- Director of Revenue Cycle Management

52 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 212 employers measured ask (median: 13), the least standard being “You're working with a patient who has been consistently engaged in buprenorphine treatment. They use cocaine or methamphetamine a few times a week to stay energized at work, and occasionally use cannabis to help with sleep. They report improvements in mood, relationships, and day-to-day functioning, and say, "This is the best I’ve felt in years. I’m finally stable." The patient has no interest in stopping these substances right now. How would you approach this situation? (Choose the responses that best reflect your clinical philosophy in this scenario.)”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Boulder Care does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Boulder Care's asks for 53 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
