Our hiring process

We practice what we preach. That’s why we ask you to complete two assessments: a personality test  a cognitive ability test and sometimes a motivation test. Everyone does this. Why? Because we want to give everyone a fair chance and base our decisions on data—not gut feeling. It takes about 50 minutes, and once completed, you’ll receive a quick response from us.
