Many other methods form part of the engineering process to develop highly scalable and maintainable enterprise solutions.

Our Hiring Process

You can expect two interactions, one would be with the HR department and that includes a psychometric test [nothing scary]. The second interaction will be with the heads of the departments who will benefit from your contribution. That will include a discussion on technology, previous experience and provide an opportunity to determine what direction you would like your career to take.

-- You do not have to do any whiteboard pseudo code, or other programming tests --

For us, it is important to find a person with a good attitude, valuable team player instincts and a willingness to learn / contribute / take ownership. Experience is only built through opportunity and at Willcom we rise to the occasion.
