Thanks for all the questions! Giving the perspective for the advisor round:
The application process will vary depending on the candidate but will likely involve: A short screening call, a ~2–4 hour work test, an interview, a 2–5 day in-person (if possible) work trial, if we think it’s at least 50% likely we’d offer you the role.
As for how fast we will move through those rounds, it’s unfortunately quite hard to say! How quickly I can move it along will depend in part on what other work lands on my plate. This is my first time running a hiring round, so I don’t have personal experience. But the in the last advisor hiring round, we were able to get back to most candidates about whether they progressed to the interview or not within 3 weeks of the application closing. For applicants who make it through to the work trial stage, there might be a delay depending on how difficult it is for them to fit a work trial into their schedule.
The advisor role is very autonomous! We hire people who we trust to react to a persons individual situation with sensible recommendations, not people who can learn a script. This isn’t limitless, for example, I would expect advisors to flag if they think their colleagues would disagree with a piece of advice they are giving.
