A recent study revealed that 89% of hiring failures are due to poor cultural fit rather than technical skills. Ouch, right? We’re not about that life. At GrowthScribe, we’ve designed a hiring process that’s as much about you getting to know us as it is about us learning what makes you awesome.
Our mission? To find candidates who not only have the skills to crush their roles but also the vibe to thrive in our culture. It’s like finding the perfect puzzle piece—it has to click. So, how do we make the magic happen? Here’s the full scoop.
Step 1: The Application and Assignment
Every great story starts with a bold move: your application. Once you’ve taken the leap and applied, we up the game with an assignment tailored to the role you’re eyeing.
Now, this isn’t your typical “write an essay about why you want this job” kind of thing. Nope. We want you to flex your skills in a way that feels real. Are you a designer? Let’s see a creative mockup. A writer? Draft us a blog intro. Whatever the role, the assignment mirrors real-world tasks you’ll encounter.
Why? Because we’re not just looking for talent; we’re looking for potential. We want to see how you think, solve problems, and bring your unique flavor to the table.
Step 2: The Interview
If your assignment wows us (and we hope it does!), we’ll move on to a friendly chat—what most people call an interview. But let’s keep it real—it’s not a stuffy, buttoned-up affair.
This is where we get to know you, the person behind the resume. What makes you tick? What are you passionate about? What kind of work environment makes you thrive? And hey, it’s not just about us grilling you with questions. This is your time to ask us anything—what’s the team culture like, how do we celebrate wins, or even, “What’s the deal with that Friday meme thread I saw on Slack?”
Pro tip: We love when candidates are as curious about us as we are about them. Bring your questions!
Step 3: The Trial Period (3–5 Days)
Here’s where things get hands-on and exciting—the trial period. This step lasts 3–5 days and gives both you and us a chance to test the waters before diving in headfirst.
During this trial, you’ll tackle simulated tasks that are a snapshot of what you’d do in the actual role. These aren’t high-stakes assignments; think of them as a sneak peek into the day-to-day. You’ll get a feel for how we operate, and we’ll get to see your skills in action.
But it’s not just about us judging your work—it’s about you experiencing what it’s like to be part of the GrowthScribe crew. You’ll get a sense of our workflows, our people, and our culture. And if by the end of the trial you think, “This feels like home,” then we know we’re onto something.
Step 4: Evaluation and Decision
After the trial period, we’ll sit down as a team to evaluate your work. It’s not about perfection—it’s about effort, adaptability, and potential. Did you take feedback and run with it? Did your approach align with how we roll? Did your energy click with the team?
Once we’ve done our homework, we’ll reach out with the final decision. If it’s a yes (and we hope it is!), congratulations—you’re officially part of the GrowthScribe family. If it’s a no, we’ll always provide constructive feedback to help you grow.
Why Our Process Works
We get it—this process might feel a little more involved than the typical “resume and quick chat” routine. But here’s the thing: hiring is a two-way street. We want to make sure you’re as excited about joining us as we are about having you.
Here’s why it works:
- It’s Collaborative: You’re not just being assessed—you’re getting a chance to evaluate us too.
- It’s Transparent: From the assignment to the trial, you’ll know exactly what to expect every step of the way.
- It’s Purposeful: Every stage is designed to uncover potential, build trust, and ensure a great fit for both sides.
Final Thoughts
Joining a new team is a big deal, and we don’t take it lightly. That’s why we’ve created a hiring process that’s thoughtful, interactive, and—dare we say—fun. It’s about more than finding the right person for the role; it’s about building partnerships that last.
If you’re ready to bring your skills, energy, and ideas to the table, we’d love to hear from you. Your next adventure might just start here.
