16 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Are you currently or have you ever provided services to Fivetran (or any of its global subsidiaries or affiliated entities) as a consultant or independent contractor, or through an employment agency or placement firm of any kind?”.
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 Fivetran 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 — Fivetran's asks for 15 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.
