We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce and warmly encourage applications from individuals from all backgrounds, especially those from disadvantaged or underrepresented groups and global minority communities. We are an equal opportunity employer and ensure fairness at every stage of the recruitment and hiring process.
We also strive to provide an accessible and accommodating application experience. If you are a qualified individual with a disability and need reasonable accommodation to participate in the application or interview process, please contact us – we'd be happy to help.
We have recently been made aware of increasing occurrences of actors posing as company HR personnel to gain information from "potential candidates", in the form of job interviews and offers. These scams can be quite sophisticated and appear legitimate. We will never use instant messaging apps to contact prospective employees or to conduct interviews.
Act III interviews are only ever conducted over video calls or in person. We would never ask for personal details before an interview.
