GoFundMe application questions — all 19, word for word
GoFundMe hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 19 questions, 7 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
51 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and data. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What GoFundMe has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as GoFundMe titles them, in San Francisco, CA, Remote, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dublin, Ireland:
- Analyst II, Regulatory Reporting
- Analyst II, Transaction Monitoring
- Business Development Representative
- Customer Care Specialist
- Director, Financial Crime Operations
- Executive Assistant, P&T
- Lead Analyst, Transaction Monitoring
- Lead Customer Marketing Manager
- Manager, Compensation
- Manager, Customer Care Technology & Automation (Zendesk)
- Manager, Data Science (Marketing)
- Manager, Software Engineering (Payments)
10 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 212 employers measured ask (median: 13), the least standard being “By typing my name below, I confirm that the facts set forth in this application, including any additional information provided in my resume or other supplementary materials, are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if I am employed, false statements, omissions or misrepresentations may result in my dismissal. I authorize GoFundMe to verify all information I have provided and to contact any provided references.”.
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 GoFundMe 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 — GoFundMe's asks for 7 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.
