Want to dive into every step?

• 1. Getting your application in the system

  The first step of Corti's recruitment process entails the recruiters reviewing the inbox stage, where your application comes in. Here, the recruiters take charge and review countless applications, including yours. This is where the recruiters want to learn a little bit about you, why you chose Corti, and why this role is the perfect fit for you. 

  💭 What do recruiters look for in your application?
  The recruiters screen through many resumes daily, which means that it's going to be important for you to have a clear overview of your experience, highlighting your previous achievements and how they are relevant to what you're applying for. Additionally, the recruiters seek clear communication, solid reasoning for joining Corti, and one or two examples explaining why you're a good fit for the role. Additionally, this is a chance for you to let your personality shine, whether that's through a video, image, or creative writing.

  💭 When will you hear back from us?
  You will always hear back from us after applying, but remember that Corti's recruiters sometimes have a few roles open, so they can take up to a week to respond. 

• 2. The Predictive Index

  We want to ensure we're building a team of the absolute best people. Therefore, it's essential to get an introduction to your preferred work style, which gives us an insight into how your strengths will align with the tasks you'll be doing. For those insights, we use the Predictive Index (PI) as part of our recruitment processes, which you'll have 3 days to submit after receiving them in your inbox.
  

  The PI is an assessment tool that all Cortians have taken at Corti. The tool looks at behavioral preferences and cognitive aptitude. The recruiter and hiring manager use this as support to understand whether you'd be the perfect fit for the role. We also the PI internally for team members to better understand each others way's of working and how they could collaborate better. It's not used as a purely go/no-go decision tool for hiring, and all recruiters treat each result differently depending on the profile they're reviewing. 

  💭 What recruiters and hiring managers look for during this step
  Recruiters include the PI assessments as part of an overall holistic approach to recruitment. It helps them understand you better and how you could catch up with role demands, solve problems, and understand the job's complexity. Additionally, the recruiter can better understand your preferred communication method and see how you'd likely interact with employees with different behavioral profiles. 

  💭 When will you hear back after this step?
  You'll always receive a response from the PI. As Corti conducts these assessments on an ongoing basis, timing can differ. Your recruiter will update you on what's next after they receive the results. Here, the recruiter is also your point of contact for any follow-up questions. 

• 3. Time to meet your recruiter!

  Now it's time for you to meet your recruiter! Here, the recruiters want to get to know you more as a person, to know about your motivations, and to give you more information about the role.
