Recruitment

Step 1: a talk with a recruiter. She or he will ask you about your experience, achievements, and expectations from the new employer.
Step 2: screening. It involves five quick questions the aim of which is to get an understanding of your technical background and ability to provide reasons for your choices when solving unusual problems.
Step 3: candidate evaluation. We decide whether or not to reach out to a candidate based on the screening. We’d also welcome you showing your code on GitHub or doing our test project, but that’s not necessary.
Step 4: technical interview. We won’t go deep into the way a system or a language works: instead, we’ll talk to you to form a view of your visual experience, preferences and methods of work, your ability to think and make decisions as well as evaluate your teamwork skills.
Step 5: within a few days, our recruiter will let you know the results.

If they are good and you accept the offer, you should be looking forward to onboarding.

Onboarding

We make it comfortable so that you quickly get adapted. Here’s where we show you the ropes within our company, your department, and your team.

Step 1: onboarding into the company. We’ll get you familiar with the basic procedures: where to refer to when having problems, how to track your working hours, and what in-house regulations we have. We’ll also grant you permission to access the main services we use at work.
Step 2: onboarding into your department. We’ll give you a small test project under the supervision of a mentor: that will help you get accustomed to the code style, methods, and infrastructure.
Step 3: onboarding into your team. Under the guidance of your mentor, you will start working on a real-life project where you will actually spend the rest of your probation period.
