Initial Screening: Most roles begin with a phone or virtual screening with HR or a recruiter to review your background, skills, and interest in the role. Technical/Role-Specific Assessment: For certain positions (e.g., technology or analytics), candidates may complete a skills test or demonstrate competency in areas like math, analytical reasoning, or technology platforms. Panel Interviews: Kestra often uses a multi-step process. Candidates typically meet with 2–3 managers and team members, and for senior roles, interviews can involve up to 4-6 people in half-day or full-day sessions. These include behavioral questions, role-playing scenarios, and cultural fit discussions. Focus Areas: Expect questions about prior experience, problem-solving, and alignment with Kestra’s core values. For technical roles, you may encounter practical exercises (e.g., coding challenges or dashboard design questions). Timeline: The process usually takes about two weeks from initial interview to offer, though some roles may require additional steps and take longer. Candidate Experience: Most candidates describe the difficulty as medium, with interviews being thorough but professional and collaborative.
