Recruitment

Each team within DeepNeuron has its own recruitment process, and its own timeline. As such, when you apply to a team, you can be sure your onboarding process will be tailored to the specific team your working on, and the capacity you are being recruited in.

In general, recruitment for a team happens in several phases

  1. Online Form. Submit your application to a team your interested in. Following that, our team will review your submission.

  2. Interview. Speak with a member of DeepNeuron, and discuss why you’re interested in our team. We’ll chat about your interests, skills, as well as how you envision contributing to our team.

  3. Probation period. Work with us for several weeks, and discover what its like to be part of our team. If you discover you’d rather be contributing in another way, that conversation is always open.
