How we hire

As an organization on a mission to humanize the world of work, we have carefully designed our hiring journey to respect the human experience of job seeking. Habanero’s hiring journey includes open and transparent discussion throughout and is a mutual exploration about what and how we may contribute to each other.

1. First contact
You are interested in learning more about a role we have available, or maybe you just think we should meet. Either way, make sure to send us a note and your resume!
2. An introduction
We invite you in for an initial meet and greet, to learn more about each other and the role. We will explore your experience and answer questions you might have about Habanero, and how we can contribute to your career. These usually take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour. We might do this in person, use video conferencing, or both.
3. Your knowledge
It's essential for us to understand your skills and mastery for the role you are applying for. One of us (in a similar role) will work with you to complete a capabilities assessment, which can take anywhere from one to three hours.
4. Meet the team
We want you to meet as many team members as possible. We’ll pair you with two Habs for 30-minutes, and typically book three to four of these conversations over a half a day. This is a great opportunity to ask questions of our team and for all of us to explore working together.
5. Comprehensive interview
We are in the final stretch now, and will invite you to join us for a two-hour interview where we focus on your values, motivations, and habits. This interview will be led by an external hiring partner and attended by our Director of Employee Experience and a career coach we have identified for you, should you join us.
6. References
We have identified a number of people during the comprehensive interview that we would like to chat with. We typically ask for two to three references.
7. Meet Steven
We believe it is important for you and Steven (our founder and president) to meet. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our vision, purpose, and values and anything else you have questions about.
8. Welcome!
It’s been quite the journey, but we are confident everyone will have learned a lot about each other. You will receive a formal offer. Let the onboarding begin!
