Our application process
To give you an idea of what happens after your application, we have outlined an example recruitment process for you. However, depending on the position the process will be adapted accordingly.
-
Application screening
Once the deadline for applications has passed, the hiring team will assess your candidature. This will take about 1-2 weeks.
Even if you do not meet all requirements, we would like to encourage you to apply. Please let us know in your cover letter why you think you are a good fit for the position and what else you can add to our team.
-
Interview stage
The first step of the recruitment process is an interview to get to know you, to understand your motivation for the position and to tell you about our organisation. This interview will most likely be held online.
Next, you will meet the team you would be working with, and the interview is likely to get more technical. To complete this and also to give you a better insight into how we work, we might then ask you for a technical assessment.
Depending on the position you are applying for, the process is concluded with reference calls and a last conversation with our HR team to make sure you have all the information you need to make your decision.
-
Onboarding in the team
Once you have signed your employment contract with us, we will begin preparations for your start at Agora.
During the first three months, you will be guided by our onboarding programme as you get to know your team members and your role – we want to provide you with all the necessary information for a successful start at Agora. Additionally, we offer a mentoring programme for our new colleagues and of course your team will help you with any questions.
