ABOUT OUR INTERVIEW PROCESS
Building a great team is our top priority and we take a thoughtful approach to evaluating candidates. Typically, our interview process takes two to three months to complete. We will keep all candidates informed of our progress and our ultimate hiring decision.
Our process is as follows:
-
Resumes and work samples are reviewed as they are received.
-
Candidates that pass the resume review will receive a 30-minute phone screen to learn about your skills and salary expectations. As a small business, MOS is exempt from listing compensation in our job advertisements, but we will be transparent about the salary range for this position with candidates that move beyond the screening interview.
-
Candidates that pass the phone screen will move forward to a virtual video interview with Middle of Six principals to dig deeper into their skills and approach, and for Middle of Six to describe our work, client mix, and expectations for the role.
-
Reference checks are completed.
-
Candidates who move forward after the virtual interview will be invited to participate in an interactive work session with the Middle of Six team to assess working and communication style.
-
Employment offer is made.
