Interview process

Our recruitment process consists of three stages:

1. A 30 min phone interview with our People & Culture team member to discuss your general career motivations, and present our company and this role.
2. A 1-1.5 hour phone interview with 1-2 members of the hiring team to deep dive into the core skills requirements.
3. An on-site visit to interview with and meet many members of the team that you would be working in. This often includes lunch and gives you a strong sense of the company culture and individuals.

Then, both parties make their decisions! We aim to complete all steps in one month but also allow for modifications to ensure both sides have a full picture of the skills and culture match to take the decision in an informed way.
