The candidate submits an application for a specific fellowship position through the JAARS Applicant Tracking System (ATS). If more than one position is of interest, the candidate can mark up to two other positions they’d like to be considered for.
The HR team will review all applications, then invite qualified candidates to an initial video interview. The purpose of this interview is to assess competencies and cultural fit, among other considerations.
If the candidate has a successful first interview, the HR team will conduct checks with the references provided on the candidate’s application.
The HR team will pass the candidate’s application (including resume, interview notes, and references) along to the manager of the position they applied for. The manager will choose which candidates to invite to a second video interview. This second interview will include an HR representative, the manager, and the Fellows Program Coordinator. The purpose of this interview is to explore team dynamics and responsibilities of the position.
The HR team will send official offer letters to the top candidates. Candidates typically have one week to respond to offer letters. Up to six fellows may be hired per cohort.
Once a candidate accepts their offer, the HR team will coordinate the completion of a criminal background check and other onboarding paperwork. New fellows will receive correspondence from the HR team and the Fellows Coordinator as their start date approaches.
The hiring process takes anywhere from 30-150 days. The process varies for individuals depending on candidate pool and application completion date.
