Our Hiring Process: We will review your application against our job requirements. We do not employ AI during this phase as we believe every human is unique, with a unique set of skills, and we celebrate that here at JayWay. Even if you have 80% of what the role requires, we shall consider you, as a lot can be learned on the job. We do not think machines can evaluate your application quite like our recruiting professionals can.

We promise to give your candidacy a fair and detailed assessment. We may then invite you to submit a quick questionnaire where we cover some of the key requirements for the role and your work setup. If the questionnaire is completed promptly and you match the essential criteria, we will invite you to interview with our hiring manager and/or the interview team. We never hire anyone into our organization without having met you face-to-face via Google Meets. After this, we usually have a little written test task – just a short glimpse into your hands-on work skills, so we better align with what will be expected in the role and, hopefully, something fun for you to showcase your expertise. Passed this, you are on to your last interview with the wider team, which is usually the team leader or whom you will report to, as well as one of the senior team members, to go over more in-depth questions about the role and some live exercises may be performed. But if that's the case, we shall give a heads-up. From there on, it's decision time! If you are still excited to join JayWay Travel and we like you as much, we will have a conversation about your offer. It’s important for us to keep you informed during the interview process. No matter what, we’ll always maintain communication with you. We appreciate your time in applying, interviewing, and taking assessments. #J-18808-Ljbffr
