Our process

What to expect at each step

Five or six steps, two to three weeks, no dead air. You're evaluating us the whole way through.

Intro call · 30 min

Show up knowing why you're interested in Handoff. We'll cover the role, what we need, and your background.

Hiring manager · 45–60 min

How you think and operate, not a resume walk-through. Expect questions about how you solve problems and where you do your best work. Come with questions of your own.

Deep dive or take-home · Varies by role

Working session on past projects, a take-home built on a real problem, or both. Use any tools you want, including AI. We're grading your reasoning, so be ready to discuss it.

Cultural fit · 30–60 min

The most important conversation in the process. Meet our leadership. We'll be honest about what it takes to thrive here. We want you to be equally honest about what you need. If the pace here isn't for you, this is where we'll both find out.

References, then offer

An honest conversation with people who have worked closely with you. Once we're aligned, the offer moves in days, not weeks.

We're ready when you are

We move fast, make bets, and obsess over always raising the bar. If that's where you thrive, we want to meet you.
