New York City, NY
We source candidates through the platforms people actually use in their job search — LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster and other reputable resume databases — and our hiring team reviews every resume. From there it is a virtual screen within two days, one-on-one formal interviews, and a final interview, virtual or in person. For successful candidates the whole thing takes about a week.
We find candidates through the platforms people actually use in their job search — LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster and other reputable resume databases. Every application is reviewed by a member of our hiring team, not a filter.
Within the first two days of applying online, you receive a virtual screening with our hiring team. It is a straightforward conversation about your background, your goals, and whether the role is a genuine fit — no surprise tests.
Candidates who move forward meet one on one with our hiring team for a more formal, focused assessment. We talk through how you think, how you communicate, and what you are working toward — the things a resume cannot show.
Successful candidates advance to a final interview, held virtually or in person at our Midtown office. This is where we get specific about the role, the team and the expectations — and where you can ask your own questions.
For successful candidates, the full process runs from application to offer in about one week. We move deliberately, we do not leave you waiting, and we tell you the result either way.
You always know where you stand and what comes next. No hidden scoring, no ghosting, no vague timelines. If something is not a fit, we say so clearly — and if it is, we move fast.
We treat the hiring process the way we treat the work — with clarity and respect for everyone's time. Here is what we promise each candidate, whether or not we move forward together.
Your application is read by a person on our hiring team — not auto-rejected by a keyword filter. We source through credible platforms because we want to meet real candidates, not optimize a funnel.
