What to expect in the Close hiring process
We care deeply about the candidate experience, so each interview flow may vary depending on the role. We strive to provide an environment that respects the time and energy of both our candidates and internal team.
Our application process promotes equitable and unbiased hiring practices. We ask a short series of questions, similar to what you would be asked in the first interview. This helps us learn more about you right from the start, so please be sure to answer each question thoughtfully. All applications are reviewed by a team member; qualified applications undergo secondary review. Regardless of fit, we will let you know if you're moving forward.
You'll first meet with the hiring manager or People Operations team. We seek to understand you, your background, professional goals, and what’s important to you when choosing your next position and company. This call is an opportunity for you to ask questions about the role, company, culture, values, or product.
This is a hypothetical prompt designed to resemble key aspects of this role's responsibilities. Each take-home project is thoughtfully designed by the hiring manager to include a grading system, concise directions, and clear goals. These projects may take between 3-6 hours to complete depending on the role. However, we never use your work product.
After the skills assessment, we'll dive into your technical skills during 1 to 2 interviews hosted by your potential colleagues. This step focuses on the specifics of the role and provides you an opportunity to ask the team about their experiences at Close.
Interviews conclude with a 1:1, 30-minute call with one of our Co-Founders or VP of Engineering. These are typically honest conversations that allow you the opportunity to discuss any outstanding questions. Our founders are active leaders at Close and genuinely interested in every person who joins the team.
We’ll ask you to provide three references who can speak to your professional experience––ideally at least one of whom you've reported to. These calls help us validate what we already believe to be true based on our interviews with you.
