From finding the right opportunity to accepting an offer, here’s what to expect when applying at Houston First.
Apply: You will receive an acknowledgment email once we have received your application and resume. Our People & Culture department will further contact applicants whose background and experience fit the needs of the position.
Phone or virtual interview: We will first contact you by email and set up a phone or Teams interview. During this interview we will ask general questions to better understand your background and how it aligns with the position. Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications are typically invited to an in-person panel interview.
Panel interview: The panel who interviews you will typically include three to four team members, a representative from People & Culture, the hiring manager, a diverse team member and a subject matter expert. These interviews are more in-depth; each member of the panel asks the same questions of all candidates and focuses on a specific aspect of the job to avoid redundancy. This ensures an in-depth conversation about the role and your qualifications and experience.
Assessments: Some positions will require an assessment that gives candidates an opportunity to exhibit specific skills or knowledge. The assessment will measure a wide range of variables, including - writing, creativity, problem-solving ability, reasoning, technical skills, emotional intelligence, and more.
Employment reference check: At this point of the interview process we conduct employment reference checks of the panelists' top choices.
The offer: The formal offer of employment will be extended by the People & Culture department to the candidate selected.
