Our hiring process
We know hiring processes can seem overwhelming, but we don’t want you to feel overwhelmed at Tudip. We want all candidates – from entry level to leadership.
Tudip’s hiring process is an important part of our culture. Tudipian care deeply about their teams and the people who make them up. We also care about building a more representative and inclusive workplace, and that begins with hiring. In order to truly build for everyone, we know that we need a diversity of perspectives and experiences, and a fair hiring process is the first step in getting there.
With that in mind, we’ve broken down the process both visually and verbally below, to turn these abstract statements into a tangible map for you to follow as you apply.
Self-Reflection
While we’re sure you’re ready to dive into the depths of the job search, we recommend starting with an often-overlooked first step: focus on you.
Have you ever discovered you’re good at something you’re not passionate about? Many of us have. This may be a result of the work you like to do, or it may be something you’ve had to get good at because of a previous project or role. The more skills you have the better — but it’s hard to build a fulfilling career on something that doesn’t excite you. Before you start applying, take some time to ask yourself a few of these questions:
- What is something you learned that made everything that came after easier?
- Have more of your achievements come as a result of solitary effort or teamwork?
- What do you enjoy more, solving problems or pushing the discussion forward?
- What is the most rewarding job you’ve ever had? Why?
- Describe the best team you ever worked with. What made that experience stand out?
Now, sit with your history for a moment. Consider all the best, most rewarding elements of your experience, and let them come together to create a picture of where you want to go next in your career.
Job Searching
Once you’ve taken some time to focus on what you’re looking for, you can get a better idea of who we are, what we’re about, and what it’s like to work at Tudip
Our goal is for you to feel like you know us a bit better, and that you’ve got enough information to feel like you’re applying for the right jobs.
Check out our company and our teams sites. View our Facebook page and our locations. Read our blog and how we care for Tudipians. The goal here is the job or jobs you land on should exist at the intersection of who you are and who we are. So go, click around for a bit. We’ll meet you back here.
You should now have a better sense of who we are and what part of the company and role seems like the best match for where you want to go.
Your Resume
It’s tempting to take your last resume and update it, tweaking it a bit here and there to include your latest work. But we’d like to suggest that you go a little deeper — we think you’ll feel much better about your hiring process if you do.
Keep your old resume next to you for inspiration, but start with a blank document and create a resume specifically designed for each job you want.
For each position do the following to build your job-specific resume:
- Align your skills and experience with the job description. Tie your work directly to the role qualifications (and don’t forget to include data).
- Be specific about projects you’ve worked on or managed. What was the outcome? How did you measure success? When in doubt, lean on the formula, “accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z].”
- If you’ve had a leadership role, tell us about it. How big was the team? What was the scope of your work?
- If you’re a recent university graduate or have limited work experience, include school-related projects or coursework that demonstrate relevant skills and knowledge.
- Keep it short. We don’t have a length requirement, but concision and precision are key — so think twice before letting your resume move onto multiple pages, and take careful aim with your information.
We want you to focus on the jobs that delight you and that you match as opposed to submitting dozens of applications (it’s tempting, but it doesn’t work well — trust us). Quality, not quantity, is the way to go.
Using the careers search tool, tell us who you are, what you do, where you’d like to be, etc. — then start looking at some of the listings that match. As you’re browsing, keep in mind that you can apply for up to three jobs every 30 days.
Interviews
If a Staffing team member believes you might be a match for a job you’ve applied for, you’ll enter our hiring process.
While the process may differ slightly for different roles or teams, the same basics apply whether you’re applying for a tech job or a marketing job, an internship or a leadership position. Not all of these may apply for your role, but here are some of the ways we assess candidates in our hiring process:
Online assessments: You may be asked to do a brief online assessment, like a coding quiz, after you’ve submitted your resume.
Short virtual chats: Before diving into more in-depth interviews, you’ll typically have one or two shorter conversations over phone or video. These will usually be with a recruiter and then with either the hiring manager or peer on the team, and are designed to assess key skills you’ll need for the role.
Project work: We sometimes ask candidates to complete a small project prior to their in-depth interviews. This could range from prepping a case study to providing writing or code samples (don’t stress, they’re not that scary and we won’t spring this on you without warning), and helps us understand how you think and approach problems. We’ll let you know about any additional materials we’ll need early on.
In-depth interviews: We get excited about interviewing and take it seriously because, at the risk of sounding cliché, Tudip is what Tudipians make it. Our process can be rigorous (typically 3-4 interviews in one day, either over video or in person), but it’s also meant to be friendly, warm, and gives you the opportunity to get to know us better too. We’re guided by our goal of creating an equitable and inclusive experience where candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds have an opportunity to succeed.
Decision and Offers
If a Staffing team member believes you might be a match for a job you’ve applied for, you’ll enter our hiring process.
We say “we” because we take into account a number of perspectives to come to a decision. If we decide that you’re the best candidate for the role, your recruiter will reach out to you with an offer.
Once you’ve accepted the offer, the Tudip onboarding team will walk you through compensation, benefits, badging, insurance and so on, after which you are on your way to becoming a Tudipian! Put on your hat and get your Tudipian on — we’re thrilled to have you.
