Step 1
A 30-60 minute call with People and the Head of Development (or a Team Lead) will provide an overview of our company, specifically focusing on how the technical department operates. The discussion will cover the candidate's past experience and technical background, offering an opportunity for the candidate to ask any questions about us.
Step 2
A 2-hour technical session with two members of our development team, divided into two parts. The first 30 minutes will focus on the candidate's technical background, while the second part (90 minutes) involves a live programming exercise. The candidate should do it using Java. This test simulates a 'pair-programming' session, with our team providing guidance and assistance throughout the exercise.
Step 3
We will either extend a job offer or provide feedback if we decide not to hire you.
