Job openings are advertised widely. Every applicant is expected to submit by email a CV, a letter describing the reasons why s/he wants to join and why s/he feels that s/he fits our culture, and some references. We interview all those who submit complete packages and go through the effort of “studying” our organization. In the first round of interviews, each panel member can ask any questions they want and give marks to specific criteria we are evaluat- ing. A blind sum/average process results in a short list of a 3-5 people. In the next round we go in more depth and try to identify those who really share our philosophy, are capable hard workers, and most importantly will be fun to work with.
