Our Hiring Process
We intentionally keep our headcount low, so spend more time optimizing our hiring process than our size suggests. We optimize for speed, to help you understand life at CommandBar and in the role you're applying for, and for us to understand how you do your best work.
- Every interview starts the same way: two to three casual conversations with team members so (1) we can get to know you, your background, interests, and career goals and (2) you can learn about CommandBar.
- After those conversations take place, we'll agree on a written interview plan that's tailored to your role. Usually this begins with a domain-specific screen (e.g. a coding interview for an engineer) and might include a take-home component as well. It's very important to us that our interview process be transparent, as stress-free-as-possible, and gives you an accurate picture of what working at CommandBar is like.
- We consider these part of the interview process, not just confirmatory. We like to hear from a manager and a peer if possible.
