A skilled communicator, both in writing and in-person:

APPLICATION PROCESS
Our application processes aim to be highly predictive, time-effective, and informative for you. Our process consists only of stages that our best evidence suggests are predictive of success on the job (such as test tasks) rather than more common but less predictive stages (such as cover letters). We only invite candidates to the next stage if we think they have a good chance of passing it, and take care to choose tasks and interview questions that will also give you a good sense of the role and our culture.
Applicants will be asked to complete the following stages:
-
Submitting our general application form (30 minutes to 1 hour),
-
A general test task (2-3 hours) with the top 10 to 30 candidates,
-
An initial interview (15 minutes) with the top 10-20 candidates,
-
A test task simulating the work you would do in your role (2-3 hours) with the top 5-15 candidates,
-
A final, more in-depth interview (~60 minutes) with the final 2-5 candidates.
We will also conduct a reference check before making an offer. Each stage typically takes 1-2 weeks from the end of the application deadline, and we hope to make an offer within ~8 weeks of the application deadline. Ideally, the candidate will begin onboarding as soon as possible after an offer is made. We strongly prefer candidates to join the team by January 2025, but we would consider a different date for an ideal candidate.
