What to expect as a candidate:

While we are never perfect, we have aimed to build a process that fosters fairness and helps to minimize bias, this includes structured processes and interviews. Our goal is that everyone interviewed has a positive experience, regardless of the outcome.

Stage 1️⃣:  Send us your resume and a note about how your story connects to ours. Feel free to focus on what you have learned rather than just a list of responsibilities. Tell us your story! We’ll aim to tell you quickly if it is not the right fit so you are always informed.

Stage 2️⃣: Successful candidates will meet with our Talent lead. It will be standardized to keep things fair but also with enough room to show your uniqueness. We’ll communicate the salary range now for full transparency. If you like us and we also think there is a fit, we’ll invite you to the next stage.

Stage 3️⃣: A virtual interview with the Head of Product. Be prepared for more in-depth questions about your experience and skills.

Stage 4️⃣: This round will be a deep dive interview with the Hiring Manager, someone from our engineering team as well as our finance team. 

Stage 5️⃣ : This round will be a case study that we will ask you to prepare prior to the interview. We will ensure you have adequate time to prepare prior to scheduling you in for this round. 

Stage 6️⃣: This is the final stage in the interview process and we will ask you to meet with our CEO, KJ. This will be an informal meeting and will give you an opportunity to learn more about ResQ’s vision and mission. KJ will also ask you some more questions and he will, of course, be able to answer any additional questions you might have.

We are a mission-driven team and have a big vision to revolutionize the service industry. While on that journey, we recognize that building a startup is very hard. Turning vision into reality in a fast-growing environment takes superhuman efforts and is often one of the most difficult, yet rewarding, things one can do.

We do our best to ensure transparency during all stages of the interview process but we realize it's a lot of information 📚 to take in at once so we wanted to centralize everything to make it easier for you to navigate through. We have created a Talent Notion page which will help you learn more about us during the recruitment process.
