FAQ

If your profile matches the current openings, the Talent Acquisition team from CEGIS will connect with you within a week or so. If you do not receive a response to your application, it is likely that there is no obvious fit between your experience and skills and the role for which you applied.

  • Step 1: (After application short-listing) A member of our Talent Acquisition team will schedule an introductory audio or video call to understand your experience, skills, and motivation to work with CEGIS.
  • Step 2: Depending on the role(s) you are interested in, and the open positions we plan to hire for, the talent advisor will take your candidature to the next steps, which include
  • Step 3: Completing a written assignment to assess aptitude for the role and writing skills, as well as an online assessment.
  • Step 4: If you pass the assignment, there will be 1 or 2 rounds of technical interviews with the hiring managers. For senior positions, there may be more than two rounds of interviews.
  • Step 5: The final HR interview helps assess the culture fit and also answer any questions you may have for CEGIS.
  • Step 6: The Talent Acquisition (TA) team informs the selected candidate of the outcome of his/her application. As a next step, the HR team will discuss the compensation for the position, and based on your acceptance, three professional references will be sought.
