The
Proactive Hiring
process is specifically designed for applicants who are seeking job opportunities at a later date. Applying for roles under Proactive Hiring means that
you are applying for roles without immediate vacancies
. However, we
anticipate
that we will need
to hire for these roles in the next few months
.

Here's what you can expect when applying for a Proactive Hiring role:

• Merit-based Evaluation: Your application will still undergo ‌ our standard skills- and values-based assessments.
• Longer Lead Time: Turnaround time for processing Proactive Hiring applications may take longer than for Immediate Hiring applications, making it suitable for folks open to exploring opportunities
• Reserved Slot as a Priority Candidate: A successful application will result in a slot as one of our top candidates for the role. This is not yet a formal job offer , but expresses our intent to extend an offer to you once a vacancy becomes available.
• First In Line for the Job: Once there is an active vacancy for the role, you will be one of the first people we contact and to whom we extend an official offer

At Thinking Machines, we treat all our candidates with great care and fairness while ensuring we stay ahead of the curve to anticipate our clients' needs.
