Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate your candidness. To clarify our process: the first “interview” is actually a phone screen conducted by a recruiter. This is simply a touch-base to ensure alignment between what the candidate is looking for and what we’re hiring for — including things like salary expectations, goals, and role fit. The next step is a webcam interview, also led by a recruiter. While our recruiters may not be accountants, their role is to assess cultural alignment and confirm that a candidate has the foundational accounting knowledge required for the position. The in-depth, functional interview(s) focusing on technical accounting skills come afterward and are conducted by our hiring managers. Altogether, our process includes a phone screen and up to three interviews. While some may view this as a lengthier process, we see it as thoughtful due diligence — both for the company and the candidate. We are incredibly proud of our award-winning culture and take great care in hiring individuals who align with our core values and possess the expertise to thrive in their role. Many candidates appreciate the time and effort we invest in ensuring a mutual fit, and we believe this approach has been key to our success.
