Why Symbio?

Because Symbio is a People Product and hiring the right person is our #1 priority 100% of the time. We work with some pretty cool companies (some you know, some you will know) which is why being talented and driven is critical too. From our point of view, the recruitment process is ground zero. 

The Recruitment Process

For this role you can expect:

• Within 48 hours we will review your application and let you know if you will move on to a phone screen or not. This phone screen is conducted by our Talent Manager and is approximately 30 minutes. Nothing tech - just about the company and you, high level stuff here.
• If you successfully complete the screen, you will be contacted by the assigned Hiring Manager who will talk more tech. This is a little more micro - you should expect questions about your tech stack, ways of working, etc. in the this interview.
• Once you WOW the Hiring Manager, you will be sent a tech test. This is meant to assess not only your skill level but also to see your code, live and in action.
• Nice - your wrote the code well. Final Interview! You will meet with a project team, project manager, hiring manager and finally debrief with the Talent Manager. You can expect to be here for a half day. Use this time to get to know the team the office and see if Symbio Sweden is where you are interested in spending upcoming future in.

This entire process - from first contact to final interview - takes approximately 1,5-2 weeks. We like to move as fast as possible but synching so many schedules can take time. We promise, however, to keep you updated as often as possible and from the beginning you will have direct access to our Talent Manager.
