Vercel application questions — all 22, word for word
Vercel hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 22 questions, 14 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.

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 Vercel 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 — Vercel's asks for 14 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.
