Stage 1

Application Received

After you've submitted your application, our hiring committee will be notified to review. We typically start reviewing applications two weeks after an open position is posted, and on a rolling basis thereafter until a decision is made. If you are a potential match, we'll schedule a call or virtual meeting to learn more about your skills and experience.

Stage 2

Application Review

The hiring committee reviews all applications and assesses if a candidate's skills and experiences meet our selection criteria. Selection criteria is a list of skills and experiences that are either required or would be ideal for a candidate to possess to be successful in a role. The selection criteria guides our assessment of candidates to inform whether or not we move a candidate forward in our hiring process.

Stage 3

Screening Call

Screening calls are conducted by a member of our hiring committee. Questions at this stage focus on further assessing candidates on the position’s “Must Haves” with the goal of moving the candidates with the most Must Haves to the interview round.

Stage 4

Interview Round

These interviews are also conducted by members of our hiring committee. Depending on the hiring committee configuration, we may bring in other staff members to be a part of the interview if we think their perspective(s) would be valuable for the final decision.

Candidates that progress to this round meet most if not all of the Must Haves. We focus the conversation on the "Nice to Haves" and may dive deeper into a piece of the conversation from the first round interview.

You should also expect to complete a pre-interview exercise as part of this stage. Exercises are typically structured around a common responsibility or function of the role. We like to get a sense of how a candidate would perform in this role to help make a decision and determine onboarding and support needs.

Stage 5

Feedback

As we're a very collaborative team, we like to engage all staff in hiring processes to inform decisions since we all work closely together. This means that we share candidate materials and hiring committee notes with our full staff to get feedback on top candidates.

Before extending an offer to a candidate, we conduct reference checks and request that at least one reference is from a former employer. If the hiring committee is having a difficult time making a recommendation between multiple candidates, we may check the references of the top candidates to help inform the decision.

The hiring committee uses references and staff feedback to determine which candidate will receive an offer.

Stage 6

Offer

In this stage of the process, we make an offer to a candidate. If you've made it to this point, this means that we think you would make a great addition to our team and have the skills to be successful in the role!

We'll get clear on salary and talk through available benefits, location, start date, and answer any remaining questions the candidate has prior to sending an offer.

Stage 7

Welcome aboard!

The last stage of this process is to welcome the final candidate to the team and begin the onboarding process! During this stage, we'll work through paperwork, logistics, and final administrative needs to get you set up as an employee. This work begins shortly before an employee's start date.

We're looking forward to working with you!
