Buildkite's hiring process aims to provide candidates with a comfortable, remote, and exploratory interview experience that allows them to showcase their skills and determine if the company and the role align with their career goals. The process varies depending on the role but generally includes an initial application via BeApplied or Lever, which focuses on skills rather than traditional resumes. Following this, candidates participate in a screening video call with the People team to discuss their skills and interest in the role. A second interview involves meeting potential colleagues with relevant technical expertise, and candidates are given a compensated take-home project to demonstrate their abilities in a remote work setting. The final interview is designed to further explore the candidate's approach to problem-solving and provide them with additional information about the role. If a candidate is not selected, Buildkite communicates this via email to respect different time zones and offers feedback upon request, ensuring a positive and respectful experience throughout the hiring process.
