Ophelia application questions — all 62, word for word
Ophelia hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 62 questions, 55 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
29 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 Ophelia has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as Ophelia titles them, in United States, Albany, New York, Buffalo, NY, Capital, PA:
- Collaborating Physician (MD) - Pennsylvania and/or New Jersey Licensed
- Data Scientist
- Enrollment Coordinator
- Patient Support Specialist
- Product Analyst III

- Technical Recruiter (Part-Time)
- Telehealth Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant (Remote) - Delaware License

53 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “How would you describe your experience/skill level with IT systems skills mentioned at the top of the "Skills and Requirements" section? Are there any you are particularly strong in, or any you don't have exposure to?”.
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 Ophelia 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 — Ophelia's asks for 55 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.
