From Application to Interview to Offer

About our application submission and process.

After an initial screening, Braille Institute conducts job interviews in-person or via video in a live format which includes an interview with the hiring manager and close team. We then generally bring together a cross-section of team members to have a conversation.

Depending on the position, a skills assessment may be included and/or certifications reviewed. Our goal throughout the process is to make sure we’re a great fit for one another.

Please note that we do not conduct interviews through chat or text. We always keep you in the loop about what’s expected. And, we do not request sensitive or personal information such as W4 or financial details during the interview or job offer process.
