The interview process

We want to ensure you are set-up for success and understand what will be expected of you. If your application is successful, our interview process is as follows:

1. Intro call: A 30-minute chat with our Talent Acquisition Partner to discuss the role and your background.
2. HM Interview stage: Up to 45 mins interview with the Hiring Manager to go deeper on your experience and how your profile can adapt to the role
3. Challenge and Team Interview: We will send you a take home test and invite you to present it during a 60 minute team interview. This is an opportunity to show us how you would handle the day to day of the role
4. Final Interview: A final interview with a Senior Leader

Transparency is important to us so we also wanted to share some insights about what we're looking for in applications to ensure you can set yourself up for success! 

Last time we hired for this role,  we received a vast amount of applications but only a few were selected for an intro call. With this in mind, we want to help you understand what we really care about when reviewing your application:

• We receive a lot of CVs, and many of them are AI-generated. We love seeing people leverage AI-it's a big focus for us internally too-but without human intervention, these CVs can sometimes become generic and fail to show a candidate in the best light. What we're really looking for is the specific details of real impact that only you-not AI-know from your previous experience. A top tip from us is to use the "Achieved X, as measured by Y, by doing Z" formula (credit: Laszlo Bock, ~2014) to give a really clear picture of what you've worked on. A final note: including links to your previous companies' websites is a huge help and allows us to truly understand your background.
• Every single application we receive is reviewed by a human (yes, hundreds of them) because we believe that candidates' efforts should be matched by an equal level of human care. This means that we expect a similar level of attention put into your application. Read and answer the application questions carefully, they make a huge difference in our decision-making process.
• Highlight most important aspects of the role, points that might get misunderstood, any specific industry requirements etc.
