Application

Head to our career opportunities page to view open roles. Even if you don’t match one of the qualifications listed in a job description, we’d love to hear why you’d be a great candidate in your cover letter. If a role isn’t currently open, we encourage you to apply for future consideration.

Recruiter screening

This is a time for us to get to know you and for you to learn more about us. A recruiter will reach out to schedule time to discuss the role and your interest in Greenhouse – and communicate detailed process expectations.

Department phone interview

During the next step, you’ll have the opportunity to talk with an experienced team member or your potential manager. This in-depth conversation will allow you to better understand your team’s goals and the scope of the role.

Take-home assessment or remote coding exercise

Depending on the job, you may receive a take-home assignment to complete. This could be a skills assessment, a work sample or, in some cases, a remote coding exercise that is also accompanied by a virtual interview. Remember, your recruiter is here to help with any questions along the way.

Face-to-face interview

This is your opportunity to meet with the hiring manager and potential future colleagues, giving you a better sense of our culture and how you might add to it.We'll discuss your experience, details of the position and Greenhouse values. As the last step in our process, you'll have a check-in with your recruiter.

Interview tips

It’s important to us that you feel comfortable and ready for your Greenhouse interview. Below, we’ve gathered a few interview tips to help you prepare.

“When it comes to a take-home assessment, candidates who stand out tend to go above and beyond, not only through thoughtful content and attention to detail, but also on format. Anything outside of text in a document will signal to me that a candidate is willing to put in extra effort.”

Mo Moran
VP, Sales Development & Demand

“Candidates really stand out when they’re able to provide clear and thoughtful examples of how they’ve tackled challenges similar to the ones they would face in the role they’re interviewing for.”

Alex Powell
Senior Director, Product Management
