Work changed. Pay didn’t.

High volume of outreach with frequent rejection
A strong focus on phone-based prospecting (cold calls are key)

💜 Access & Belonging (Equal Opportunity)
We hire for impact and potential, not pedigree.
We welcome applications from people with non-linear careers, career breaks, caregiving gaps, and those changing fields.
No discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender identity/expression, marital or family status, pregnancy, neurodivergence, race/ethnicity, religion/belief, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected ground.
Assessment fairness:
We anchor on evidence of outcomes (what you shipped, moved, or influenced).
We actively de-bias by using structured rubrics, multiple assessors, and blind screening most of the time (we won’t know your name, gender, or personal info until the interview stage).
📬 Application Clarity
No cover letter required.
Apply with your LinkedIn or upload your CV.
You may be asked a few short, relevant questions.
Total candidate time investment: ~1.30–2 hours end-to-end.
🧩 Hiring Stages (What to Expect, Why & How Long)
1. CV / LinkedIn Screen — Signal check vs must-haves
• Done by People + Hiring Manager.
• You’ll hear from us within 7 business days.
2. Role-Fit Questionnaire (async)
Purpose: capture signals your CV can’t (languages, tools, scenario judgement) and calibrate seniority.
Format: short video.
Accessibility: prefer a call? Tell us - we’ll swap for a short chat.
3. Quick Interview (Intro Call) - Mutual fit & context • 20 min
With People. Covers role scope, salary, location, and timeline.
4. Hiring Manager Interview - Deep dive into your work • 30 min
Structured around outcomes, decisions, and collaboration.
5. Team Chat - Meet the GM Portugal + Q&A • 45 min
You’ll get actionable feedback either way.
Optional: References (2–3 people who’ve seen your recent work) - async.
🤖 AI & Hiring Tools Transparency
We use a few tools to reduce bias and improve documentation, not to make hiring decisions.
Teamtailor anonymisation: profiles are reviewed without relying on names/personal identifiers.
Meeting recorder (e.g., Talka.ai): may be used to capture interviews so we can focus on the conversation.
ChatGPT: may be used to turn interview notes/transcripts into clear, structured summaries.
Important: every application is reviewed by a human, and no decision or rejection is made by AI. If recording is used, we’ll be transparent and (where required) ask for consent.
⏱️ Speed & Communication
Decision: within 4 weeks of your application.
Updates: weekly if the process runs longer.
Scheduling: interviews between 10:00–16:00 CET (flexible across Europe).
Feedback: from the Case stage onwards, you’ll always receive written or verbal feedback - what went well, and what to strengthen next time.
