About the hiring process
Interested in joining our team? Great!
We’ll begin reviewing applications immediately and continue to review them for the first two weeks after the date of posting. There's no benefit to applying in the first five minutes and we'd rather you take your time. We heavily weigh the answers to our application form rather than data from LinkedIn or resumes. We then reduce the candidate pool down to a small handful who move on to a small test project.
If your application is chosen to move on to the next phase we’ll send you a small (paid) test project to be completed within 72 hours of receipt. This will be a written assignment where we ask you to respond to mock email questions and provide feedback on a real-life conversation between a creator and an agent.
If selected after the project stage we will run a mock live chat session with you. The goal of this phase is to give us a sense of your voice and tone in chat and to give you a sense of what it’s like to work with our customers 💬
As the final round you’ll be interviewed over Zoom by our VP of Creator Support and our Senior Creator Support Manager. These interviews typically last 30-45 minutes each and are structured to get a feel for your experience and how you approach work. No trust falls or riddles to worry about here 😉
The last interview will be with Spencer our CEO who can answer any questions you have about the broader goals and workings of the company.
After that we'll decide on our final candidates and ask for professional references from both a previous co-worker and a manager. We'll reach out to those references to set up a brief 10-minute call.
Finally all going well we'll make a written offer to the successful candidate which can be signed electronically 🥳
We’re looking forward to chatting 🙂
