Stage 1

Application Prompts

A short set of written prompts (target: no more than 90 minutes total). We score anonymized responses for: analytical judgment; ability to get work done through others and engage stakeholders; relevant knowledge and experience; and motivation for this work.

Stage 2

Paid Skills Assessment

A standardised, time-boxed paid task that mimics the actual job. You will also be invited to share an existing piece of written work and, if you have one, a data or model file. This is optional and candidates who do not have suitable material are not disadvantaged.

Typically, candidates have 1-2 weeks to complete their skills assessment, and the evaluation process also takes about 1-2 weeks.

Stage 3

Interview

Interview stage typically involves a 60-90 minute-long interview with 1-2 Hiring Managers. Evaluation takes about 1-2 weeks to complete.

Questions across the skills and experience the role requires. Most questions are typically sent in advance; occasionally we will name the topic but not the question. Candidates invited to this stage will have the chance to ask us about the role, the department and RP.

Stage 4

Reference Checks

At this stage, we ask candidates to provide 2-3 references about your work, probing independent execution and reliability in particular.

Stage 5

Hired

This stage indicates the end of the hiring round and the beginning of the onboarding process of a new staff.
