THE PROCESS

Long interview processes are stressful and boring, and that is not us.

We want to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

So here you will have three-stage interviews:

1- A chat with one of our great recruiters.

2- A Zoom chat with Mikael (our Support Engineer Manager) and Christian (our Head of Operations) - during this interview, they will ask you technical questions, and you will also complete an exercise.

3- A Chat in our office with Cassie (our Local Director) and Phil (our Head of Engineering). This chat will allow you to ask all remaining questions you might have el

But don't worry; everything will be explained to you step by step by your recruiter.

Here is a little tip for you during those stages:

Collaboration is massively important to us, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts, ask questions, ask for help if needed, etc

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION:

Diversity and inclusion are key to a great workplace, and Adaptive is better when it's more representative of the world around us. We want everyone to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work without any fear of judgment or negativity.

All we ask is that our colleagues are respectful, collaborative, passionate about what they do, and have the skills needed to be successful in their roles.
