We are kind of on a mission to revolutionize how hiring is done. Instead of resumes, we focus on the real skills of applicants. Writing resumes and cover letters is a pain, and scanning through endless resumes takes hundreds of hours of our time, with no way to gauge true aptitude until someone is on the job. So, we built Toggl Hire that eliminates the guesswork for everyone by assessing candidates’ skills right from the start.

Here is how our skills-based hiring works:

1. Skills Test: Short online quiz to evaluate the basic skills and knowledge for each position.
2. Assignment: We manually review all the tests that pass the set minimum threshold and invite top candidates to complete a take-home assignment or a live coding task along with an interview so that we can better understand your experiences and expectations.
3. Test Week: Candidates who excel with the assignment and interview are invited to join our team for 3-5 days of paid work so that we can all experience what it would be like to work together.
4. CEO Interview: Quick interview with our CEO for you to both ask final questions about each other.

The process may differ slightly depending on the role, but we will always place the greatest value on job-specific skills and remote work skills when making hiring decisions.

Our skills tests consist of multiple choice, single data entry, and some open text questions. Both the multiple choice and single data entry questions are scored automatically when you complete the test. For candidates who meet our minimum score threshold after this first round, a real person then reviews the answers submitted for the open text questions.

Your test score based on your responses to multiple choice and single data entry questions will be displayed immediately after finishing the test. If you score above the set threshold for the position, we aim to have a real person review your open text answers (not included in the test score) within 2-3 weeks, but this may differ depending on the number of applications. As we get hundreds (sometimes thousands) of applications for each position, we are only able to reach out to people who advance to the next round.

Each candidate can only take a test once and it is not possible to retake a test. However, we might have other openings in the future with new tests. You are welcome to keep an eye on our jobs page for new openings and try any of our new tests.

We only consider candidates who take the skills tests posted on our jobs page. Instead of resumes, we want to see your real skills and only applicants who do well on the test will be considered further. The goal of the test is to evaluate candidates on the basic job skills we require for each position. Candidates who advance to the next rounds will get to demonstrate their knowledge through more elaborate assignments and trial work. We may or may not ask for your resume in the later rounds.

We believe using equal, quantifiable terms to assess candidates’ skills is more fair than having humans reading resumes with their conscious or unconscious biases. We get hundreds (sometimes thousands) of applications for each position and the skills tests help us to evaluate whether a candidate has the basic job skills that we require.

We also realize that the tests don't fully describe a candidate's expertise and personality. That is why candidates who advance to the next rounds will get to demonstrate their knowledge through more elaborate assignments, trial work, and interviews.

All our vacancies are always posted on our jobs page and there are no additional openings. Please keep an eye on this page for any positions that could match your skills and interests.

Unfortunately, we don't have any internship positions to offer. We only hire full-time team members.
