How we hire at Vinted

How we hire

Our hiring goal at Vinted is simple: to create a fair, transparent, and meaningful experience for all applicants. To ensure you feel supported throughout the process, and our teams find the best possible match, we’re guided by our Hiring Competency Framework, our Hiring Principles, and follow a structured Hiring Process.

Hiring competency framework

This framework breaks down the hard and soft skills we’re looking for across roles and teams so we can evaluate every candidate consistently and with care. Here’s what we assess for:

Problem solving

People who can spot challenges, think critically, and find creative, practical solutions.

Decision making

The ability to consider the bigger picture and make team-driven decisions that move everyone forward.

Collaboration

Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. We value the ability to align with diverse working styles while working on shared goals.

Growth mindset

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

Strategic focus

For more senior positions, we’re also looking for people who can help teams prioritise and connect day-to-day decisions with our long-term goals.

Position & technical knowledge

We check whether you have the technical skills and expertise required for the role, 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 make sure Vinted aligns with your skills, experiences, aspirations, and expectations. If we invite you to continue in the process, it’s because we believe you could be a strong match.

We hire efficiently

Your time is important. Our processes are structured, yet flexible. Clear communication at every step means you’ll know what to expect and when to expect it.

We assess candidates effectively

Assignments and interviews are based on the work you’ll do at Vinted if your application is successful. Rather than looking to tick boxes, we want to find out 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 appreciate every application and want you to have a positive experience, no matter the outcome. That means timely updates, constructive feedback where possible, and respectful interactions throughout your journey with us.

Our hiring process

Our process is designed to give you a clear picture of the job while helping us understand your skills and potential.

You can normally expect a mix of interviews, role-related assignments, and conversations with future teammates.

The exact steps will depend 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 specifics will be shared with you at the start of your application journey.
