Hiring at Sinch - Candidate FAQ

Applying to Sinch

What happens after I apply and how long will it take to hear back?

Once you apply, our recruiting team will review your application. If your background is a strong match for what we’re looking for, a recruiter will reach out to connect. While we review every application carefully, we may not be able to connect with everyone due to the volume of applications we receive. We aim to respond within a few weeks, though timing may vary depending on the role and volume of applicants.

How can I make my application stand out?

There’s no single “perfect” application, but a few things can help:

• Take time to understand the role and how your experience aligns
• Share why you’re interested in Sinch and the impact you want to make
• Include portfolios, projects, or examples where relevant.

We’re not just looking at what you’ve done - we’re interested in how you think, build, and contribute. 

Can I apply in a language other than English?

As a global company, we work across teams and regions, so English is our primary working language. We ask that applications are submitted in English to ensure a consistent and fair review process.

Can someone refer me for a role?

Yes - employee referrals are an important part of how we hire. If you know someone at Sinch, feel free to connect with them before applying. They can submit your information internally so you’re considered through our referral process.

Interview experience 

How will interviews be conducted?

Most interviews are conducted virtually using Microsoft Teams. If you’re located near one of our hiring hubs, there may be an opportunity to meet the team in person during the process.

How can I prepare for my interview?

In addition to preparing for the role itself, we encourage you to think about how you work. We recommend:

• Learning about Sinch and what we do
• Reviewing the job description closely
• Preparing examples that highlight your experience and impact
• Bringing thoughtful questions

Our interviews are designed to understand both your experience and how you approach your work - including how you collaborate, solve problems, and grow.

What does Sinch look for in candidates?

At Sinch, we take a thoughtful and consistent approach to assessing talent. We look at both your experience and how you approach your work. As part of this, we assess:

• How you apply your skills and experience in real situations
• How you think, solve problems, and make decisions
• How you collaborate, communicate, and contribute to a team
• How you take ownership and continue to grow

We value qualities like authenticity, collaboration, ownership, and curiosity - and we explore these through structured conversations and, in some cases, practical exercises.

Will I receive updates along the way?

Yes - you should always know where you stand. We aim to keep communication clear and timely throughout the process. While we may not always be able to share detailed feedback, we will keep you informed on next steps. When will I hear back after my final interview? We aim to follow up within a few days after final interviews. In some cases, it may take a bit longer, especially when multiple candidates are in process. Your recruiter will keep you informed, and you’re always welcome to reach out with questions.

We’re here to make sure you feel informed and confident in your decision.

Do you offer visa sponsorship?

Sponsorship availability varies by role and location. If applicable, this will be discussed early in the process so expectations are clear.

Accessibility and support

What if I need accommodations during the interview process?

We’re committed to creating an inclusive and accessible experience for all candidates. If you need accommodations at any stage, please let your recruiter know. We’ll work with you to ensure you have the support you need throughout the process.

Staying connected

Can I apply to more than one role?

I didn’t get the role. Can I apply again?

Absolutely. We encourage you to apply again in the future as new opportunities open that may be a better fit.
