Fin application questions — all 17, word for word
Fin hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 17 questions, 14 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
203 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in sales and engineering. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What Fin has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as Fin titles them, in Dublin, Ireland, London, England, San Francisco, California, Chicago, Illinois:
- AI Infrastructure Engineer

- Account Executive, MidMarket - German Speaking
- Account Executive, Senior MidMarket (French)
- Account Executive, Senior Small Business

12 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “We use an AI Notetaker to record our interviews. This allows us to capture notes accurately while interviewers can focus on engaging discussions. The data processed will include video and audio recordings and transcripts. The recording will take place only if you give your consent. Please note that opting-in or out will not impact our recruiting decisions. Do you consent to having your interview(s) recorded for the entirety of the interview process?”.
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 Fin 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 — Fin's asks for 14 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.
