There are 7 steps in total.
✔ Step 1: Submit a Resume – By submitting your resume, you show us your ability to organize written information so that it is clear and pleasant to read. This step is important because accounting knowledge and experience is needed to perform this job.
✔ Step 2: Icebreaker Questionnaire – By submitting a playful questionnaire, you show us your ability to ignite connection in short written responses. The questionnaire also invites you to ask us questions. If you don’t have a single question for us then you are not seriously applying for our job. Instead, we assume you are just looking for any job. Our ideal candidate is making sure that this job will meet their needs and maybe even their dreams.
✔ Step 3: Send a Video Introducing Yourself – By sending us a short 3 minute video introducing yourself, you show us some of your technology skills and provide a glimpse of how you connect in a 100% virtual work environment. This step is important because recorded video is a common communication method used in the firm.
✔ Step 4: You Interview the Owners – By asking you to interview us before we interview you, shows us the questions you are most concerned about in your employment decision. You will lead a 30 minute video conference with the firm’s owners (Bryan and Hillary). This step is important because we know that you have many options for employment and we want to help you determine whether or not we match your long-term career goals.
✔ Step 5: Skill Assessment – By asking you to answer an email with 3 sample questions that you are likely to encounter in your role here, we are able to evaluate your knowledge level and your writing skills. This step is important because email is the most common communication method used at our firm.
✔ Step 6: Background Check – By contacting your professional references and performing both a background check and a credit check, we are able to confirm that the information you provided to us is accurate. This step is important to the firm and our clients because of the information shared.
✔ Step 7: The Owners Interview You – In interviewing you, our main goals are to clarify intentions, address concerns, establish boundaries, and create big dreams. The 30 minute video conference is intentionally structured to achieve “radical alignment”, a tool we learned from this book.
