Our Approach to Hiring
We take a different path when it comes to hiring. We believe the best way to see if we're a fit for each other is by doing what we love together: coding and tinkering!
Hiring Process​
We try to keep it light and snappy:
- Brief intro and cultural assessment interview
- Technical introduction to role by team member with short take home exercise
- Technical interview (role specific)
- Hackweek - We invite potential team members to join us for a hackweek (or hackweekend) to work on a real problem together. This isn't just about assessing skills; it's about experiencing our culture, teamwork, and the excitement of building something great.
- Offer
The process take about 2 weeks in total with the Hackweek from 1st interview to offer.
Hackweek: A Deep Dive Into Collaboration​
We are weird about hiring. We’re skeptical of resumes and we don’t trust interviews (we’re happy to talk though!). Since nothing beats working together, we love inviting people for a hackweek (or hackweekend) - come hack on a problem with us and see if you like it!
It’s compensated, of course. And fast: we typically extend offers within 3 working days, starting from the end of the hackweek.
Don't Just Take Our Word for It​
Wondering if GitStart's unique approach is right for you? Here's what one candidate had to say after 15 years in the industry source!:
"Interview experience with GitStart was not even ONE OF the best, but absolutely THE BEST I ever had in my 15 years career. Every person I spoke to was EXTREMELY charismatic and genuinely interested in me. It was clear they LOVE GitStart. The process was not just enjoyable; I was actually looking forward to more of it :D"
Our hiring process is about more than just finding the right skills; it's about discovering passionate individuals who love what they do.
