We are committed to a fair, inclusive and transparent hiring process:
- All candidates will complete the application form
- Top scorers through the initial application process will be invited to interview, and a pre-interview task will be shared (we’re much more interested in what people could do with us rather than a CV, so it’s good to be able to chat through an approach to an activity)
- Following this, we will hold shorter, meet the team interviews with some of the Thrive team to understand what candidates value in a place of work
- We’ll offer the top candidate the role and start the on boarding process
