Every hiring journey is unique, but here are some of the questions we hear most often from talented people who start the journey with us.

When do I follow up after an interview?

Every interview is different. We recommend adding this to the questions you have for your interviewer. It shows them you’re interested and helps you avoid any unnecessary anxiety. Ask for the date you should follow up and the best way to reach out to your interviewer. Once armed with this information, follow the recommended steps to the letter (it shows you’re listening).

What if I don’t know anyone inside the company? Should I just apply online?

Absolutely! Most of our hires are from direct outreach from the recruiting team or from interested candidates applying for roles. Of course, we always appreciate when our employees refer great candidates to us, but it’s never a hiring requirement. Before you decide you don’t know anyone here, have a look at LinkedIn – you might be surprised or find someone in your network who can make an introduction.

Should I use a separate resume for every job?

100% yes! No two job descriptions are the same, so the chances your resume aligns perfectly every time are not realistic. Make sure your resume prioritizes the required skills and technology requested in each job description. Also be sure you reference the work processes and specific keywords mentioned in the job description.

When will I hear back after an interview?

Our process varies by role or region, but one thing is clear – we want you to know where you are in the hiring journey! Even though we routinely send out correspondence to our candidates for each role they’ve applied to, we encourage tracking your application status on our website. If you haven’t received an update from us, please check your spam filter!

Can I take notes during an interview?

Taking notes during an interview is a great way to remember important points and stay focused for follow up questions. Before you begin, show you value confidentiality by asking the interviewer if it’s OK to take notes.

Should I


?

If you’re wondering whether you should send a thank you email, network with people, or do anything else that shows you’re genuinely interested in the role, the answer is yes! Don’t hesitate – when you take the time to show us your excitement, we get excited too!
