What To Expect

We believe that finding a new job should be an enjoyable process. We\u2019re passionate about bringing our whole selves to work, so what you see is what you get. All we ask from you is that you show us your authentic self. We\u2019re looking for people who bring something new to the team, who add to our culture and make it even greater. Our interview stages will be:

1. Initial Screening Call: If we think you\u2019re a great addition to the team, you\u2019ll be invited to an introductory call with a member of our People Team. This is a chance to tell you about Thrive and give you an opportunity to ask questions.
2. First-Stage Interview: Following the initial call, you will have a first-stage interview with a member of the team you\u2019d be joining.

3. Assessment Task: We may ask you to complete a practical assignment or case study between interview stages.
4. Final Stage Interview: You will meet with the Hiring Manager and/or a senior team member for a final interview. This stage is typically used for a more in-depth discussion and may involve a review of your assessment.

At Thrive, we’re on a mission to build an inclusive, welcoming culture that encourages and actively supports diversity. Our race, gender, religion, background, sexuality and beliefs are what make us unique. Our people are expected to always treat each other with respect, care and compassion.
