If we think there might be a fit, an intro call will be set up, or we will let you know that we won’t be proceeding.
• Intro Call: You will meet Sarah first on a 30 minute zoom call; you don’t need to prepare anything in advance. The idea is to see if it’s a good option for both Vable and you. It’s time to discuss your background a little more and for Sarah to answer any questions about the role, team, company or culture.

This will take no longer than 1 hour and this is the final stage. For most candidates we expect the whole process to be no longer than 3-4 weeks.

We record all of our interviews, with your permission. It makes it easier as we are globally distributed and various members of the interview panel can rewatch and give you their full attention without having to take notes.
