Our hiring process
No surprises. Here's how we hire.
Our hiring process is built to be clear, fair, and honest — from the first conversation to the final decision. Here's exactly what to expect.
Hiring at Staffbase is a conversation about fit, in both directions. Every stage is designed around our three values: ownership, growth, and care. We'll ask you to show how you think, how you solve problems, and how you work with others. And we'll be transparent about what we're looking for at every step. Our process is thorough. It's also built to respect your time.
The process. From first call to offer.
Our hiring process follows four core steps. The exact setup may vary by role, but the structure stays the same. Your recruiter will walk you through the details upfront.
Explore open rolesFirst call
Your first conversation is with one of our recruiters. This is a two-way chat about you, the role, and what you're looking for. We'll also talk about values and mindset — both matter from the start. If there's a fit, we'll move forward together.

In their own words
Hear what it's actually like to go through our hiring process — from people who've been there.
Genuinely one of the better interview experiences I've had. My recruiter was communicative the whole way through, and by the end of the process I felt like Staffbase truly knew who I was. They knew how I approach my work, what I value. That made the offer land differently; it didn't feel like I was being hired for a checklist of skills, it felt like they wanted me.
Laura
Associate People Operations and Benefits SpecialistI really appreciated that the exercises I had to do during my interview process were very closely related to the actual tasks I do now in my current role. It gave me an accurate picture of what my job would be. The process is definitely thorough, but the whole team, from the recruiter to the hiring managers, are transparent in what they're looking for, and are clearly rooting for you along the way.
Tommy
Customer Success ManagerDuring my interviewing process, I felt that some kind of filter had already been made. I felt that every interview I had was just another reminder of why we were such a great fit and to trust my knowledge and be myself. Every step forward on my interview process I felt more and more confident that the job was basically tailored for me, that they knew I was who they were looking for.

Enterprise Sales Development RepresentativeHow we use AI in our hiring process
We use AI to support parts of our hiring process — never to replace human judgment or make decisions about candidates. Every hiring decision is made by people. That frees up our team to focus on what actually matters: getting to know you.
When you apply
We use automated tools to help match your skills and experience against our open roles. This helps our recruiters work more efficiently, but it doesn't replace them. Every automated match is reviewed by a person, and every hiring decision is made by people, never by AI.
During interviews
We use AI-powered note-taking tools to transcribe and summarize interviews. This means your interviewer can stay fully present in the conversation instead of splitting attention with manual notes. You'll always be informed before these tools are used, and you're free to opt out at any point. It won't affect your candidacy.
