Test-drive Boost

Our hiring process gives you a sense of what it’s like to work at Boost - the way we collaborate, the kinds of challenges we work on and our office culture.

Why we use test drive

Your decision about where to work is an important one. Our test drive process is designed to give you an idea of what working at Boost is like day-to-day.

For us, it’s a chance to learn more about you and how you work with others. It also gives our team input into who we hire, which helps us build a team with a shared purpose and values.

“Mingling with the Boost team was a fantastic way to get a gauge on how employees feel about working for the company.”

The test drive process

There are two parts to our test drive process.

  1. 1.Collaborative hiring event

    This is your chance to meet the team and experience how we work at Boost through a series of collaborative activities. You’ll pair up with other candidates to solve problems together with support and observation from the Boost team. We measure success as a team rather than as individuals - your goal is to help your partner succeed, because their success is your success.

    The event usually runs at our office from 3 to 5 pm, and snacks are provided.

    “If the test drive evening is any indication of Boost’s company philosophy ... then I very much want to be a Booster.”

  2. 2.Working interview

    If you’re chosen for a working interview, you’ll spend a day at Boost working alongside the team. It’s a chance for you to experience the way we work, and for us to see how you work as part of our team.

    You’ll:

    • take part in practical exercises

    • spend time with team members during breaks and lunch

    • walk us through your CV and experience

    • get plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way.

    “After reading about Boost’s culture, environment, and values, I was very interested to see how it felt in real life. It almost seemed too good to be true. But I was blown away … You guys truly have a great thing going!”

Hear from a Booster

Our Developer Daniela interviewed for Boost through the test drive process. She said:

“I thought the group evening was really cool. I felt aligned with the values and it was so much fun. I really like working with other people, so doing those group activities was awesome. And the pizza was a bonus.

I had such a good day at the working interview that I knew I’d be disappointed if I didn’t get the role. But obviously I made it!

I’d interviewed for another job, and they were going to offer me the role, but I had no clue what my day-to-day would look like. It was cool coming in and being able to see everything, do some work and interact with people.”
