No matter what, you can't avoid being nervous for an interview for a prospective job opportunity – it's just natural. Your hands get clammy, you start to sweat, and your heart is pounding through your suit. Well, we are here to tell you not to sweat it! Here are a few tips to help you prepare and know what to expect when you meet with us for your big interview.
Be Yourself.
We have a very open work environment with an entrepreneurial spirit. There are lots of opportunities to interact with your peers, the entire management team (including the President and CEO), and our customers. We're looking for people who are open and willing to step outside their "comfort zone" and who know themselves and what they're passionate about (as well as those things that bring them less excitement and enjoyment). We're looking for people who are willing to contribute great ideas, work as a member of a team, and get along well with everyone. These all tie back into our organization's
Core Competencies.
Think big and show initiative.
We're not just looking to hire a person who is a good fit for a specific job. We're looking to hire talent that is good for the entire organization. This is a key reason why we bring on new employees through a specialized training curriculum. We are committed to offering employees opportunities to grow and develop. People who think big, are interested in learning and developing, desire to undertake new responsibilities and challenges, and want to get exposed to all aspects of our business will have the greatest chance of success within our company.
Be a contributor and blaze new trails.
Listen. Be engaged. Participate. Be open. Offer new ideas and suggestions. Make a difference. Don't be limited by the mentality of "that's the way things are done." Don't be afraid to try new things. We encourage everyone to challenge themselves and others. Don't settle for the status quo – instead, look for new and better ways of doing things.
Do your homework.
Research our company, our product, and our industry. Know why you want to work at our company. Be prepared to explain why you're a good fit for our company and why iCIMS is the right company for you. You can start with our careers pages and get to know what we're all about.
Ask questions.
The interview is an opportunity for us to learn more about you, but it's also a chance for you to learn about us, too. We don't want to create an interview environment that is an interrogation. We'd rather hold an informal two-way conversation that gives us both the chance to learn more about each other. While we will facilitate that conversation by asking you questions, it's also important for you to be prepared to ask questions of your own.
Now that you're armed with our interviewing tips, it's time to get yourself an interview. Search through our open jobs and find the best fit for your skills and interests. We're looking forward to meeting you!
