Hiring Process:

We do have a deliberate process here at the firm.

I indicated that it sometimes takes up to 6 weeks.

Our process as follows:

• Phone screen with Recruiting
  • F2F or Zoom with a technical hiring partner x 2 or 3 individuals
  • Follow up F2F or Zoom with leadership part of the department x 2 or 3 individuals
  • If Partner level, likely meet local office leadership, etc…

Sometimes these meetings can be completed in a week but sometimes schedules don’t allow.

We are very focused on culture and these items cannot be addressed in a single meeting nor likely a second.
