What is the Bright hiring process like?

• Stage 1: The initial connection is built with the candidate via the HR team.  The intention here is to learn about the applicant’s interests, background and personality.
  

• Stage 2: After this initial screening, the Bright culture and vision walkthrough is done. If applicable to the role, the candidate will be sent the first written assignment.
  

• Stage 3: Language, aptitude and experience are all tested in this assignment. People with relevant experience will be able to get through to the next round. If it is a technical role, then there will be more tests administered. Non-tech roles will have further interviews. 
  

• Stage 4: The candidate’s responses are carefully assessed before they are pushed to the next round. Technical rounds are then conducted by leaders leadership team. This is to test problem-solving abilities and logical reasoning. 
  

• Stage 5: Interviews are then set up with the co-founders who put the candidate’s problem-solving skills through further rigorous testing, helping them understand the Bright product and company mission.  and to ensure the candidate’s learning needs are aligned with the company and role.
  

• Stage 6: A candidate that has made it through all of these stages successfully reaches the ‘culture fit’ interview with an exec-team member, before a final offer is made.
