Before you make your decision, please read the following:
The OwnLocal Engineering team is transparent. We want to make sure you have clear expectations about our hiring process, so we've outlined for you. If you are unable or unwilling to complete our entire process, that's okay! The last thing we want to do is waste your time, so please let us know.
Our hiring process consists of six steps: application, phone interview, project, meet and greet, on-site technical & culture fit interviews, and finally an offer.
Phone Interview
The phone interviewer will ask about your background, recent projects, and ask questions related to the skills we look for. We’ll give you time to ask questions too.
Project
The project is a small application related to what we do at OwnLocal. You’ll work with mocked or anonymized data in the same format as our real data.
Meet and Greet
The meet and greet is not a formal interview, it’s a chance for our team and you to get to know each other. We hang out for an hour, ask each other questions, and discuss our interests.
If you’re not local we’ll do a video call instead with 3-4 people.
On-site Technical & Culture Fit Interviews
The formal interview is two parts. The first is adding an additional feature to your project with one of our engineers. This allows us to evaluate how you work with our team. The second part is contingent on the results of your technical interview. If you pass the technical portion, we'll ask you to stay for culture fit interviews with people from different teams.
