INTERVIEW PROCESS

We take hiring seriously because every person we add must have a meaningful impact on our culture, our work, and our team. As a small and growing company, we are intentional about who we bring on board, and we don’t compromise on that standard for the sake of speed. Our interview process includes the following steps:

• Online application
• Predictive Index behavioral and cognitive assessments
• Phone screen 1:1 Hiring Manager
• Interview Panel interview with cross-functional team members
• Final Offer

As part of our hiring process, we ask candidates to complete Predictive Index (PI) behavioral and cognitive assessments. These tools help us better understand your natural work style, communication preferences, and problem-solving approaches. They’re not used to “pass” or “fail” candidates — rather, they give us a more complete picture of how you might fit within the team and where you can thrive. We believe great hiring is about more than just skills; it's about setting people up for success from day one.

Throughout the process, you’ll meet with several people from across the organization — including senior leadership, members of the Marketing department, and internal stakeholders who will be key partners in this role.
