What does the hiring process look like?

1. HR Call​
The first step in our hiring process is a ~30 min.phone interview with our Talents & Culture Team - you’ll talk to Valeriia, Talent Recruitment Manager.

During this call, we want to get to know you better as a person and find out more about your motivation for the role and Homelike as well as your working ethics and expectations.

Furthermore, this is also your chance to learn more about Homelike, our team structures, working principles and culture. Therefore, be curious and bring in all your questions towards the role and Homelike.

2. Department Call​
After a first successful call with Talents & Culture, we might invite you for a second interview to get to know your future people manager and department better and to convince them of your professional skills and your mindset. This video interview will take around 45-75 min. and is focused on your area of expertise/interest.

3. Case Study​
As a potential next step, you will receive a case study with some role-specific tasks that you need to prepare at home. We create these internal case studies to give you more insights into the daily challenges of the role and its responsibilities as well as to see more of your working style and your thinking process. We believe this task is a great learning exercise and that both of us are benefitting from it. You will be asked to complete the case study within a fixed deadline (but we are still flexible in case you have a busy week ahead), afterwards you’ll present your results in another call.

4. Final Check
Depending on the role, the last step in the hiring process is a call either with one of our Managing Directors or with one of your future team members to make sure you will fit in our team and company.

5. Job offer & Onboarding​
After all steps of the hiring process, we will discuss the feedback with the whole hiring team to make sure we are aligned on the final decision. If we think you will be the perfect candidate for the role and our team, either Talents & Culture or your future people manager will contact you with our job offer and the details - Congratulations! 🙂

Your journey at Homelike will start with your onboarding week, where you will get a general overview of our organization, your team, and your role responsibilities. Next to that, your onboarding Buddy will provide you with some more informal information about Homelike’s culture and policies and support you in your first weeks and months.

P.S. As every role and its requirements are different, the hiring process will differ from time to time, too. Sometimes we need one additional interview, sometimes the order of the hiring steps will change. However, we will make sure that you are always aware of the current status and the next steps that will follow. The overall hiring process should not last longer than 2-5 weeks.
