Recruitment Process

Here are the steps in our recruitment process

Step 1

Screening of application

Our recruitment process starts with a screening of your application.

To be less biased in the screening process, we screen candidates anonymously. This means that we do not see your personal information early in the process.

Step 2

Pre-employment test

As part of our recruitment process, all candidates who meet the specific requirements for a position are asked to complete a personality test as a logical ability test. Both tests are scientifically validated.

We use pre-employment testing to add objectivity to the way we compare candidates and identify the best fit for the role.

The tests are offered through our partner Alva Labs and take about 15-20 minutes each to complete.

Step 3

Technical interview

The following step is an interview with 1-2 team members with technical competence in the area you're interviewing for. This might be both your future manager, lead or coworkers.

The purpose of this interview is to find out more about your professional background and skills. And of course, to give you the opportunity to learn more about the role and your potential future team!

Step 4

Competency-based interview

In the competency-based interview you meet with one of our Talent Acquisition professionals.

In this interview, you will be asked to give examples of real work-life situations in which you have shown a specific competence. The purpose is to understand how you approach problems, tasks, and challenges.

Step 5

Code challenge / case

This step varies a lot depending on what role you've applied for. 

For software developer roles we have a live code challenge. For other roles, such as artists, we usually have a small case (that the candidate do in its own time) followed by an interview to discuss the case.

Step 6

Reference check

We use digital reference checking as the last step in the recruitment process.

Step 7

Offer

When we have summarized all information gathered from the different steps in the recruitment process, and we both would like to proceed, we would be happy to give you an offer of employment and welcome you to GOALS. 

Now our journey together begins!
