- An introductory conversation with the hiring manager for candidates and hiring managers to ask questions and understand your interest in the role.
- A content focussed interview with 2-3 members of our team to go into candidates’ specific expertise and skill sets that would make them a great fit for this role.
- From that point, our finalist candidates (3-4 people) are asked to conduct a brief exercise so we can see applied skills and thinking in action.
- A final interview is held where that exercise is presented, and our panel of 2-3 people will ask candidates questions on their work.
- Following that, we extend the job offer and welcome our new team member.
