📼 The applicant tracking system helps recruiters search for the best candidate. Kristi Mark, Manager of Talent Acquisition at Moov Financial, goes over Moov’s application and interview process and gives you some insight on how to prepare for it!
📼Get your resume past the applicant tracking system following three tips. First, look at the job description, and make sure you understand the qualifications needed and what the responsibilities are.

Lastly, add something to your objective or even a cover letter that shows why you're interested in Moov Financial.
📼 To get past the applicant tracking system, start by doing your research. Moov loves hearing what people have learned about the company and there’s a lot of information out there. Also, express why you want to work there and what you feel you can bring to Moov Financial. Since Moov Financial is 100% remote, the whole process is also remote, so try to solve any technical issues before your interviews, and don’t forget eye contact during every meeting!
Once Past The Applicant Tracking System, The Process Begins!
What does the interview process look like at Moov Financial? Once you have received that email saying they’re going to be moving forward with you, you'll have a preliminary phone interview with the recruiter. Secondly, you're going to have a virtual meeting with the hiring manager. If it's a technical position, then you're going to have a practical meeting with two engineers. After that, you would be in a meeting with three of the team members that you potentially would be working with. If it’s a non-technical role, you're going to have 3 to 4 meetings with hiring managers or directors from different areas in the company. If you are on the sales side of things, you're going to have an email scenario or a presentation that you put together, and then you will present those in front of the VP and the hiring managers. After all the interviews have been conducted, Moov will ask for some references.

Transferable Skills Are Valuable! Showcase Them During Your Interview Process With Waters
💎 Transferable skills are valuable! Skills are skills, if you have them, you should showcase them! Watch the video to the end to find advice on how to do that during your next recruiting process!
📼 When you’re asked if you have a certain skill and your answer is no, but you do have similar skills, those are transferable skills and they are valuable! Stuart King, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist at Waters, goes through Waters’ application and interview process so that you can prepare yourself for it.
📼Turn negatives into positives with your transferable skills! When you get into the interview process, they're going to ask you things about your background and your skillset. So, be prepared to answer, but also, be prepared to ask good questions! One of the things that set good candidates apart is what kind of questions they ask the recruiters. Waters is a scientific company, so curiosity and innovation are really at the forefront of everything that they do, and someone who approaches the interview process with that curiosity usually is going to be set up for success early.
📼 When should I mention my transferable skills? The recruitment process is pretty standard. You'll initially speak to a recruiter who is going to reach out to you to set up a phone screen. During this initial phone screen, they will be determining your basic eligibility for the position and dig into your background to understand if you are a fit. The next step is going to be with a hiring manager specific to the role. This hiring manager is going to ask you more detailed questions. After you speak with the hiring manager you’ll have at least one more interview, sometimes two, and usually a panel interview. During the panel interviews, if you're asked to give a presentation, make sure you prepare it thoroughly. After you go through all these steps, the next step is for Waters to determine who the best candidate is and move them forward to an offer.
What Else Apart From Transferable Skills? Show Your Alignment With Their Core Values!
