Our Hiring Process
We want our hiring process to give you a chance to learn about us while giving us an opportunity to understand how you think, create and work.
1. Screening Interview A first conversation to learn more about your experience, interests and what you’re looking for in your next role.
2. Short Content Exercise
Candidates moving forward will be asked to complete a short exercise designed to show us how you approach content development. The exercise should take no more than two hours. We do not expect or encourage candidates to spend additional time polishing it.
You’ll be given a topic relevant to our organization and asked to:
Develop a social media post concept based on the topic
Create a concise creative brief that could be handed to a graphic designer, clearly communicating the concept, objective and visual direction
Develop one additional social media idea that you believe would be a strong fit for our brand and audience
We’re less interested in creating a “perfect” assignment than we are in seeing how you think, organize an idea, communicate creative direction and make decisions within a reasonable amount of time.
3. Interview with the Hiring Manager A conversation with the Marketing & Communications Manager to talk more deeply about the role, your experience, your approach to the work and your content exercise.
4. Final Interview
Finalists will meet with our Executive Director and Chief Revenue Officer before a hiring decision is made.
