We believe reference conversations are a two-way street.
Our goal is to set new team members up for success and learning more about your work approach, communication style, leadership, and experience from a 3rd party allows us to make the best decision for the team and the open role.
On the other hand, as someone looking to work at Float, you are also interviewing us! Speaking to a current team member outside of your interview process could help you make the best decision about life at Float and what it’s like to work here.
As part of the hiring process, we request the contact information of a former manager that our Hiring Manager can reach out to to learn more about what it’s like to work with you. The goal is to better understand your working style, communication approach, any development areas (we all have them!), and how we can continue to foster and build trust together. Please send the TA Team the following information and let your reference contact know our team will be reaching out:
We encourage you to connect with one of our team members asynchronously. We provide you with a time-boxed Slack channel to reach out to them directly and chat async so they can answer any questions you likely have about working within the team. This is a dedicated channel between you and the team member managed by our Talent team. You will see an invitation coming from the Float Slack channel for this.
