Thank you for your feedback. We get a lot of questions about the assessment portion of our interview. We realize we ask candidates to invest a lot of time at the front-end of our process and that it can push the boundaries of comfort for some applicants. We get that. We wouldn’t ask people to invest their time in our process if it didn’t work. The assessment is an unbiased way to show us how candidates are likely to respond in fast-moving pressurized situations and how they will handle rapid change – both which are key attributes in our high-growth business. The verification portion of the test (the part where we ask folks to WebEx with us) is simply that – a verification. The creators of such assessments, as well as us here at Sovos, find that it works best if verified in person, so that is how we use it! We don’t imagine that people are cheating or untrustworthy – we simply want to make sure that we are using the test in the way that makes it most effective for the company. The most overwhelmingly common piece of feedback we get about Sovos is how awesome our people are, and the job-fit success. We attribute that to the fact that we hire for culture and talent first and our assessment is a key way we do that. Interestingly, the folks who tend to be the best fits within Sovos tend to be the ones who enjoyed the challenge of the test! Thank you so much for taking the time to apply here and we wish you luck finding the right-fit employer for you!
