Still curious, now imagine yourself here....

At Symbio we believe in the Swedish model - a work/life balance we are fiercely protective of. We are a close knit group of people from all around the world. We value curiosity, honesty, openness and friendliness. There is little hierarchy and everyone is encouraged to participate in all areas of the company. We focus on each other's strengths and help those around us when in need. 

Do you like wheat beer? Do you believe coffee can never be too strong? Have a breakfast speciality you wish to try out on your co-workers? Then Symbio might be the place for you.

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 the first interview or not. This interview is conducted by our Talent Manager and Recruiter and is approximately 30-60 minutes. Nothing tech - just about the role, company and you, high level stuff here.
• If you successfully complete the interview, you will be contacted by the Talent Manager again and you will move on to the second interview where you will meet a Software Architect and a Project Manager. This is a little more micro - you should expect questions about your solutions, projects, ways of working, etc.
• Once you WOW the Software Architect and Project Manager, you will move on to the Final Interview! You will meet with the company CEO where you will be presented a business case that you will solve and present your best solution. After that you will have a debrief with the Talent Manager. You can expect to be here for 1-2 hours. 

Use the time in all interviews to get to know us 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 2-3 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.
