More about the hiring process
I haven’t heard anything yet, what should I do?
Firstly, don’t worry, responses won’t always be instant but we’ll always be in touch. Definitely check your spam folder, in case our email got filtered, and if you want to be certain then do feel free to reach out to jobs@veriff.com. And make sure you submitted your resume via our main careers page when applying, as this is the only place to do it!
Does hiring always follow a standard process?
Yes, usually, but not always. It can differ a little, based on the position. No matter what, our recruiter will always keep you updated with any new information. And you can see the standard overall process on our hiring process page.
Do I need to add a cover letter?
If it’s mentioned then yes. Otherwise, it’s not mandatory, but on a cover letter you have the opportunity to bring out the answer to “Why you?”. And we really do like honest and memorable cover letters, not the templates.
Why do some applications have deadlines?
It’s important for us to find the right person to join our Veriffians. This is why candidates are not hired when the deadline comes, but when the right person is found. With some positions we’ll find the perfect match quickly, but with some positions we’re ready to wait a little longer. Nevertheless, we recommend applying as soon as the perfect position catches your eye. We have experience in finding the right person in just a week.
How long does recruitment take?
It really depends on the position you’re applying for. It can take anywhere from 1 week to 6 weeks.
What should I prepare for the interview?
It should be obvious, but DO YOUR RESEARCH. We really appreciate it if you come in and already know Veriff’s mission and story. Consider why you would like to work at Veriff and be prepared to talk about this.
Do I have to wear an official outfit?
Just be you and feel comfortable. If your interview is in the office, this is like our home, so we have a strong slippers policy. It’s a nice opportunity to wear your favorite socks and show us who you are. If it’s a video interview, we’re less likely to ask to see your socks, but again, be yourself and feel comfortable.
If I’m not successful, can I apply again?
Yes, but don’t rush it. Make sure you feel that this time you have more experience and will meet the potential requirements. You can also reach out to us to express your interest in the existing email thread.
What if I’m interested in multiple vacancies?
You can apply for more than one vacancy. Think through before sending us your application and apply only for the positions which you are truly interested in, and where you meet the requirements.
There isn’t a position available I’m into, but can I still submit a resume?
You can drop us an email, let us know what position you’re interested in, and we can add you to our talent community. We’ll be in touch if the right role comes up!
And always keep your eye on our careers page, as we have new positions being posted regularly.
Why aren’t salaries mentioned in your ads?
We do regular market research to determine the appropriate salary for the roles we’re hiring for. The salary range is influenced by the level of seniority, allowing us flexibility. Our predefined salary brackets for all positions are established through market research, and we’re open to discussing this further during the recruiter interview.
Why do you want to know my salary expectations?
Knowing your expectation helps us know if we can meet it. We’re going to make an honest offer based on our well-researched salary brackets. We want to be mindful of your time and be certain we can fulfill your expectations.
How easy is it to change offices?
Veriff currently has sales-oriented teams in London and New York, and a product and engineering hub in Barcelona and Tallinn. All other departments are in our Estonian offices, in Tallinn and Tartu. As all offices are there for a reason then there might not be the opportunity to work in a different office if the rest of your team is located in another city or country. We approach it on a case-by-case basis.
Can I apply from another country?
Yes. Our team is really multicultural and more than happy to help you to relocate. If needed, we’ll help you with a visa and living permit. We’re also offering a relocation bonus, to support selected candidates who are moving to Estonia/Spain.
Do you offer part-time work?
It depends on the requirements of an available position. We’re mainly looking for people to work at Veriff full-time, but it can happen that we need someone to work with us part-time. Check out our careers page and the requirements for your desired position.
Do you have internship opportunities?
We do not have traditional summer internships programs. We offer internship positions based on our needs throughout the year, and when there are available mentors and great projects. Our internships offer great independence and a chance to really work on something meaningful. However, they pop up on a case-by-case basis. If you’re interested in working as an intern, you can keep an eye on us and our careers page.
Life at Veriff
Why do people want to work in Veriff?
We are a force for good. Veriff is here to make a positive global impact, and our product has the potential to do that. If it is important for you to make the world a safer place then we might have a desk with your name on it.
We also have to highlight our amazing team. We are individual performers – smart, strong, and capable of making decisions alone. But as a team, we’re friendly, respectful, and supportive. We celebrate each other’s victories. When someone falls, we help them up. It would be impossible to make the world a safer place without such an ambitious and caring team.
How quickly can I move or change jobs inside of Veriff?
We value talent and encourage employees to remain within our business. Internal growth and direction changes do happen, and new positions are often filled internally. It’s all about the motivation and results.
What language do I need to speak?
Our working language is English. Please make sure that your application, resume and cover letter are all in English. If it’s required to speak an additional language, this will be mentioned in the job ad.
Can I work remotely full-time?
This is a tricky answer. We’re currently working in a hybrid way – our offices are open, but Veriffians have the option to work from home as much as they choose to. We hold weekly all-company meetings, and teams have meetings and events at various times throughout the year, so it definitely benefits our team to interact in person regularly, just to maintain the team spirit and human connection.
It’s definitely also great to bring your smiling face to the office in the early days, for both onboarding and to get to know folks around the office.
What are your working hours?
At Veriff we don’t have strict office hours. We have different positions with different working hours. It means some positions offer flexibility in working hours and location, while others are located at the office with fixed time schedules. The requirements of the job are based on the needs for the specific position.
Where is Veriff located?
Right now, we have teams based in Tallinn & Tartu (Estonia), Barcelona (Spain), London (UK) and New York (USA). You can learn more on our locations page.
Are you planning to open more offices?
We are constantly growing, and we understand the importance of being close to our customers. For that we’re ready to go the extra mile to have the right Veriffian onboard, so more locations could be in our future.
Do you host groups of interested people at Veriff?
We’re more than happy to show our office, give a talk about what we do (or what you’re interested in) and answer your questions. Let us know about your interest via email – info@veriff.com. We try to host all groups, but because of the intense workflow we’re not capable of meeting everyone’s request
Are you interested in working with recruitment agencies?
In a word – no. We have a strong in-house recruitment team, who work daily to bring the best candidates to Veriff. We’re not using external agencies in our work.
