New Relic application questions — all 33, word for word
New Relic hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 33 questions, 30 of them required. 7 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
168 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 New Relic has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as New Relic titles them, in Bangalore, India, Hyderabad, India, Tokyo, Japan, Barcelona, Spain:
- Account Executive - Enterprise Sales
- Account Executive - Enterprise Sales (Greenfield)

- Associate HRBP
- Associate Software Engineer - Java (Distributed Systems and Databases)

- Deal Desk Analyst
- Desktop Support Technician
- Director, Competitive Intelligence

30 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Do you now or will you in the future require sponsorship for or assistance with an employment visa, authorization, or permit to work for or continue to work for New Relic in this role (e.g. U.S. F-1, H-1B, TN, E-3, or other non-immigrant visa category)?”.
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 New Relic 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 — New Relic's asks for 30 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.
