Interview Process
Step 1 : Intro call with one of our founders or another member of the team
We want to get to know you and for you to get to know us! On this call, we will talk about your professional background, what types of problems you like to solve, and what you want out of your next role. It's also your opportunity to ask with any questions you have about the business and how else we might be able to support you.
Step 2 : Behavioral interview
One of our founders will dig into the details of your resume, especially wanting to hear about what you did at each role and how you transitioned to your next role. We'll also dig into at least one major project that you shipped.
Step 3 : Product scenario exercise or writing sample
Share a writing sample that shows your written communication and product thinking skills or show off your product thinking in a (fun!) product scenario written exercise.
Step 4 : On-site interview or work trial
Tell us about your previous work & values, see what working with us would be like, and work through a product problem live with the team either via a one-day "onsite" or via a paid work trial (full or part-time for ~1 week). We can work with you to figure out logistics that work for all of us! We've found that many folks like doing these because both sides get to see what working with each other is really like.
Step 5 : References Offer!
We love talking to former managers to get to know more about you than we can in an interview process before presenting you with a formal offer! This could the first step in a hopefully long and fruitful working relationship.
At Column Tax, we're committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. If you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with everything in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. You might be the right person for the role and we'd love the opportunity to meet you!
