So, who are we?

hearX Group offers the world’s first clinical smartphone hearing testing solutions with the aim to provide healthy hearing for everyone, everywhere. This has been done through developing smartphone technologies that enables a layperson to conduct hearing and vision tests remotely - only needing access to the screening device and mobile data. hearX Group has gone to market with several products since the launch of its flagship product hearScreen , an innovative mobile health application for clinically-valid, time-efficient, low-cost screening using pure tone audiometry. Following the tremendous success of the launch of hearScreen several other products were developed and launched soon after such as hearZA (Downloadable via the app stores), mHealth Studio, hearTest, hearDigits in addition to our partnered product in vision, PeekVision.

Why a mobile hearing solution on a smartphone?

It has been proven that early detection followed by appropriate health care ensures optimal quality of life outcomes.

Smartphone health surveillance and monitoring has gained significant traction with an estimated 1.7 billion downloads expected by the end of 2017 and global revenues reaching $21.5 billion in 2018 (Economist, 2016). By employing a smartphone platform, hearX Group provides an opportunity for early detection by end-users with the potential to inform and refer patients to their closest healthcare provider using SMS or e-mail add-on services.

Our mHealth solutions are cheaper and faster than traditional methods and most importantly are mobile, allowing us to reach previously inaccessible areas. We believe that this can help us change the face of preventative care across the continent.

Should you apply for this job?

If you're someone who is looking to use their skills to change the future of healthcare access and have a significant social impact by providing these enabling technologies to people who have never had access to them before - then sign up! Because the hearX Group wants you.

Our Interview Process

If you have great taste and want to join our (awesome) team, send us your info and we’ll go through a super quick initial screening call. This is a rather informal chat to suss out your personality and experience while we give you an opportunity to ask about what we do.

We will then ask you to complete a one-way interview with some technical questions. (Using Tech to recruit for Tech for the win) .

If both parties are happy to move forward, we’ll schedule an online interview with the relevant team.

Following a successful session, we’ll ask you to complete a practical test that you can complete in your own time. A team lead gives the green light if you’re as good as you say which will be followed by Psychometric Assessments and a last quick call for final questions.

Once a decision has been made, you’ll be informed, following which we’ll do all the boring legal things like an official employment offer and agreeing on an employment contract and getting it signed. Then, it’s welcome to the team and high fives all around.
