FAQ

• Should I get a follow-up email after applying for a job?

  Yes, you should get an automatic email. If you do not, please check your spam box.

• Should I apply over Teamtailor or can I send an email directly or contact through Linkedin?

  Teamtailor is our preferred channel but any other channel works well also.

• Must I have a CV to apply?

  No, don`t worry if you don`t have a CV or it`s not updated. If you would like to share your experience through some other format/channel, we are open to everything. We can help you create a CV when you join us.

• Must I write a cover letter to apply?

  Few words would be nice but don`t worry if you don`t have a cover letter. For technical positions, it`s not mandatory.

• Can I suggest a friend for a vacancy?

  Sure you can. In fact, we would highly appreciate it!

• How long is the hiring process?

  We take time to get to know you and your skills. Hiring for technical roles includes a technical interview or home assignment. For sure you can get to know your future manager, you can take a look at our office and meet other key stakeholders. We sometimes ask you to do a personality assessment, a test to allow you to show your personality even deeper.

• Why do some applications don`t have a deadline?

  For some positions, the hiring process is constant throughout the year, for example, Java Developer. 

• How to prepare for the first interview?

  Always remember that we want to see who you really are: your strengths and values. And learn about your journey, what have you experienced so far. It`s really more of dialogue because you also need information from our side to choose us as your future employer. We strongly value honesty and would like to share/ask for expectations. You can take a look at our web and social media sites just to get the first flavor of our business and people.

• There is no open vacancy in my expertise, can I still send my contacts?

  Sure you can. We will take a look at your CV and might ask to save contacts to our talent bank for future hiring purposes.

• Why aren`t salaries brought up in the job ad?

  One job ad may bring potential candidates with different experiences and we don`t want to set any limits. A salary range should be fair, if your expectations are rather in the high end, we`d like to learn what`s behind the number.

• Will the hiring process take place online or in person?

  We are capable of organizing the whole process online but if possible, we sometimes ask people to come and meet in person, show our office and have a nice cup of coffee together.

• When will my salary expectation be asked?

  Usually, we get to it during the first interview. First, we ask your expectations.

• Do you offer part-time work?

  Yes, we do. Share your expectations and let`s see how we can make it work. Finestmedia is flexible and open to people who are studying, raising children, or building their own business in parallel.

• Can I work as a freelancer?

  We have many B2B contracts, it really depends on the conditions we can agree on. 

• Do you also have internship opportunities?

  From time to time we offer internship opportunities. We have experienced very positive outcomes of such agreements and many people working for us today have started off as interns.

• Can I apply from another country?

  Of course, you can, country borders are no longer an issue. Working remotely is totally fine by us but we do need to consider time zones, language skills and legal administration. 

• Can I apply for a position in Estonia, if I don`t speak Estonian?

  We do have some projects where speaking English is enough. Also, we are well connected with our partners and can offer work with them through us.

• Can I apply if I don`t meet all the requirements in the job ad?

  We do understand that the requirements list can be long and are flexible in some cases. It depends on the requirement really, there are some absolute "must-haves" but also areas where we can be more flexible and offer learning opportunities.

• Can I work remotely full-time?

  Yes, that will not be a problem. We have offices and probably will invite you to some in-person events, meetings and other gatherings but we almost always provide an online participation opportunity.

• How flexible are the working hours?

  The first rule is to get the job done! We would like you to join some of our regular meetings and they are usually scheduled during morning hours. Meetings that have open discussions or team collaboration require live participation.

• Why do people like working in Finestmedia?

  The first thing Finestmedias usually mention is its people. Our friendly and honest atmosphere where you don`t need to play any games, just be yourself. Managers are your partners and their doors are always open. We don`t have hundreds of people, loads of bureaucracy and everything regulated. We have a community that's built on support, respect and long-term relationships. We offer stability and a voice in the company. 

• Can I come to see the office or host a group visit?

  Of course, we are always happy to greet you in our office space. If you want to plan a group visit, write to cv@finestmedia.ee.
