Time to Apply
We ask that you submit your resume and a cover letter to apply for any position.
A word on cover letters: they aren’t mandatory but highly recommended. It’s your call on whether to include one, but please know that a cover letter gives you the opportunity to be understood beyond the information connoted by the bullets on your resume. If you do decide to include a cover letter, you may consider tailoring it to the job you’re applying for, tell us how you’ve made a difference and use data to back it up. Draw a direct line between your passion and our position, let us see who you are a bit.

After you have submitted your completed application, you can expect to hear from us within a few weeks confirming we received your application. If we think your skills are a good fit for the role, we will be in touch to schedule an interview.
Interviewing
We get excited about interviewing and take it seriously because the work we are doing really makes a difference in people’s lives. We want people on our team that feel that same passion to help. Our process is typically one to two interviews (in person or virtual) with the hiring director and another member of our management team. This can feel a little intimidating, but it’s meant to be friendly, warm, and gives you the opportunity to see multiple perspectives. We’re guided by our goal of creating an equitable and inclusive experience, where candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds have an opportunity to succeed.
Our goal is to assess your skills and see if you and this role are a match. We will spend a chunk of your first interview detailing a day in the life of the position. It’s just as important to us that you think the role is a good fit for you! So we conduct our interviews using these guiding lights:
· Structured interviewing: Every candidate is assessed using clear rubrics, and we use those rubrics for all folks being considered for that role, so that everyone is evaluated from the same perspective, allowing their distinctiveness to emerge.
· Open-ended questions: We ask open-ended questions to learn how you solve problems. We want to understand how your mind works, how you interact with a team, and what your strengths are.
When it comes to accommodations, our team is here to help. From sign language interpreters to specialized equipment, interview breaks to extended time, we aim to provide the support you need so you can keep the focus on your conversation. There is a spot on the application page to ask for accommodations, but please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any questions.
Decision and Offer
We say “we” because we take into account a number of perspectives to come to a decision. You can expect to hear from us with the decision either way. If we decide that you’re the best candidate for the role, HR will reach out to you with an offer.
Once you’ve accepted the offer, the hiring director will reach out to share more details about your first day, the where, when, and how, after which you are on your way to becoming a TTMT’r -we’re thrilled to have you!
Hiring Process - FAQ
Will you let me know when a job has been filled?
Our goal is to keep you informed throughout the process, but it does take a little bit for us to review and interview all qualified candidates. We will reach out to you initially to let you know that we received your application and reach out again if we are interested in interviewing you for the role.
After all interviews, we will communicate with you either an offer or letting you know we proceeded with another candidate for that particular role. However, our recruiting team might reach out if we find a different potential match for your skills, interests, and experience.
Can I apply for multiple jobs?
Yes, you can apply for more than one role at once, though we recommend narrowing your choices down to a few jobs that truly match your skills, experience, and interests. We’ll review your resume to determine the best fit.
What if I need an accommodation for the interview?
No problem! We have a team dedicated to making sure you have the accommodations you need to interview. If you need for us to arrange an ASL interpreter, if you’d like your service animal with you, or if you have something else in mind, simply reach out to us directly at careers@talktometechnologies.com. From there, you can confidentially discuss your accommodation options/needs.
