Syndio application questions — all 34, word for word
Syndio hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 34 questions, 26 of them required. 5 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
9 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in sales and operations. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What Syndio has open

25 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 212 employers measured ask (median: 13), the least standard being “Do you have experience specifically in HR-tech implementation, Compensation/Total Rewards, or HCM strategy, where you were directly responsible for guiding customers through complex HR data or decision-making processes?”.
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 Syndio 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 — Syndio's asks for 26 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.
