As part of our recruitment process, we feel that it’s important for you to get to know us, understand the reality of what it’s like here at RoleMapper and get a true flavour of the role you are applying for. With this in mind, our recruitment process contains the following steps: 

1. Initial recruiter call to provide an overview of the company, the role and get an understanding of your background and fit for the role 

2. CEO Interview, providing more detail on the company, our strategy, the role and a deep dive into you and your alignment to the specific requirements for the role 

3. A 1 hour meet and greet with the team to introduce yourself and get the chance to ask questions and understand the current state 

4. A 1.5 hour work-based assessment where you will present back your thoughts on a number of specific tasks 

5. Psychometric (Wave) assessment (to explore your natural working style) alongside a values-based interview (something very important to us here at RoleMapper)
