How we hire at Vinted

How we hire

At Vinted, our goal is simple: to create a hiring experience that’s fair, transparent, and meaningful. We want candidates to feel supported at every step and teams to find the best possible match. To make this happen, we follow a clear approach guided by our Hiring Competency Framework, our Hiring Principles, and a structured Hiring Process. Together, they shape how we connect with candidates and make hiring decisions.

Hiring competency framework

Our framework explains what we look for. It sets out the skills and behaviours we look for across all roles and teams, so every candidate is assessed consistently and with care. Here’s what we assess for:

Problem solving

We look for people who can spot challenges, think critically, and find creative, practical solutions.

Decision making

The ability to weigh options, consider the bigger picture, and make choices that move both your team and Vinted forward.

Collaboration

Teamwork is at the heart of how we work. We value active communication, empathy, and a willingness to work together toward a shared goal.

Growth mindset

We believe skills can be developed. That’s why we look for people who embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and keep growing.

Strategic focus

For more senior positions, we also look for the ability to connect day-to-day decisions to our long-term goals and to help teams prioritise what matters most.

Position & technical knowledge

Each role comes with its own technical skills and expertise. We assess whether you have the know-how to succeed, and the potential to grow into future challenges.

Vinted hiring principles

These principles guide how we approach every hire–no matter the role, level, or location.

We hire the right people for the right roles, at the right time

We’ll look at your skills, experience, and aspirations to see how they align with the role and team. If we invite you to continue in the process, it’s because we truly believe you could be a strong match.

We hire efficiently

We respect your time. Our processes are designed to be structured yet flexible, with clear communication at every step.

We assess candidates effectively

Our assignments and interviews are created to reflect real-world tasks. They’re not just about passing a test – they’re about giving you a chance to show how you solve problems and think creatively.

We make decisions confidently

You’ll always know where you stand. Our teams are trained to move forward decisively, so you won’t be left in the dark or stuck in endless feedback loops.

We care about our candidates

We want you to have a positive experience, no matter the outcome. Expect timely updates, constructive feedback where possible, and respectful interactions throughout your journey with us.

Our hiring process

Every role is a bit different, but our process is designed to give you a clear picture of the job while helping us understand your skills and potential. It usually includes a mix of interviews, role-related assignments, and conversations with future teammates.

The exact steps may vary depending on the role and level, and not every candidate will go through all of the final three stages (Assignment, Panel Interview, and Final Evaluation Round). The specific process will be shared with you at the start of your application journey.

Talent Acquisition Interview

A chat with our Talent Acquisition Partner to learn about Vinted, the role, and benefits (like hybrid policy, share options, and more). We’ll also walk you through the hiring process and answer your questions.

Hiring Manager Interview

Meet your future manager to talk about the business unit, the team, and what success looks like in the role. A chance to ask your questions and hear what’s next.

Assignment*

A practical task designed to reflect real-life challenges in the role. This is where you can show us your problem-solving, creativity, or technical skills.

Panel Interview*

A deeper conversation with a panel of interviewers. We’ll explore your expertise further and, if relevant, review your assignment together.

Final Evaluation Round*

The last step is about getting a real feel for Vinted: our culture, people, and challenges. At the same time, we’ll look at how your skills and values match the role.
