We know your time is precious and are strong believers in efficient and brisk recruitment. That’s why our hiring process is online end-to-end:

Our first chat will be an intro call, where we’ll outline Digismoothie as a company and the projects that are currently underway.
Then you’ll get a practical assignment, which will give you a better idea of what your job would be like, along with a chance to demonstrate your talent and strengths.
The final step is meeting the team, discussing your solution and answering any remaining questions.

It’s worth mentioning that every role is different, and that can be reflected in the hiring process. What goes without saying, on the other hand, is that we put high value on honesty and transparency.
