Canonical Response
3yHello and thank you for your post. One of the unique things about our hiring process is that it is run by our business leaders themselves. This means our candidates get to engage with business experts and team leads from the start of the process as you point out. Our Hiring Leadership team do indeed consider candidates for all roles at Canonical and we often route candidates to more suitable roles. Perhaps your own team has benefited from this approach. We appreciate it can be hard to identify the right role from the outside so a little help from the inside often helps.
Our assessments are chosen carefully and any external providers selected with accreditations. It is important to know that no application is selected purely on the basis of these results, but we do know these are valid predictors of mental ability and processing speed.
