What happens next?
From the initial application to the final decision, we strive to ensure a transparent experience for all candidates, keeping you informed at every step.
Application received!
Firstly, thanks for applying!
As we receive a high volume of applications and assess them periodically, it may be a couple of weeks before you hear from us. Sit tight!
If you're shortlisted, you'll be contacted for a phone interview.
Phone interview
Our HR team will be in touch to discuss your CV, work experience, and expectations in relation to the role (this will take around 10-15 minutes).
If it sounds like a mutual match, we'll invite you to an in-person interview.
Face-to-face interview
You'll meet with your potential managers, who'll share more about the role and ask you questions about your experience.
We're looking for strong technical knowledge and how your personality and values will fit in with our team and culture.
Please note only successful candidates will be invited to complete testing.
Cognitive and behavioral testing
All candidates are required to complete cognitive and behavioral testing. Technical tests are also a requirement for some roles.
Only successful candidates will progress to the next stage. For some, this will be the Technical Interview, and for others, this will be Reference Checks.
Technical interview
The technical interview is only applicable to certain roles, such as those within our software development team.
You'll meet some of your potential teammates and showcase your skills with a real-world, technical problem-solving activity.
Reference checks
If you pass Testing / the Technical Interview, we'll conduct reference checks with two recent professional referees.
We'll notify you before we contact your referees. Pending successful reference checks, we'll begin preparing an offer.
Welcome to Deswik!
We're thrilled to offer you place on our team and have you onboard.
Congratulations!
Where careers and friendships flourish
We're committed to preserving the vibrant culture that got us here today, and invite applicants to make it their own.
