It’s true that our hiring process is quite long. But this is because we really want to make sure that we, as a team, would like to work with the new hire.
If we ask our potential hires to spend a full day at the office, it’s to show them how life at Algolia really is, so they can see if that it is what they had in mind. On the other hand, it lets us spend some time with them, discussing various topics and have a “gut feeling” if we’d like to work together.
