Our Hiring Process

Stage 1

Applied

Thank you for choosing Square One. Once you submit your resume and cover letter through our portal, our talent team dives in to learn about your skills, experiences, and unique perspective. We review every application personally. If this matches the qualifications that we have listed on the job posting, we will set up a phone interview to know more about your experience and expectations. 
Stage 2

Screening Assessment

Thank you for your interest with Square One.  We would like you to complete a 30-minute online screening assessment. Please ensure you set aside a quiet space and time to focus, completing the test on or before the provided deadline.   

Note: Only candidates who pass this assessment will move forward to the interview stage.  If selected, you will receive an interview invite after completion. 
Stage 3

Phone Interview

If there’s a potential match, we'll jump on a quick call with you. This will be a 15-30 minute phone call where we explore your qualifications, knowledge and experiences. This chat will also explore on your expectations and answer any questions you may have about the role.
