2. An initial interview: We will then want to chat in person, online or on the phone to see if we think you would thrive at Threshold
3. The final test: If you make it through this far we’ll ask you to complete a task relevant to your role and come in to present it. We will also get you to meet a range of the team from senior and junior levels. Come armed with questions for us as well.
