Two separate 60-minute interviews; an interview with one of our recruiters and, if successful, another interview with your future potential manager. The aim behind these calls is to gain an in-depth understanding of your experience, your motivations for the position and Moonfare — and your relevant soft and technical skills. At Moonfare, we see the interview process as a conversation. Our recruiters will answer any questions you may have about Moonfare, the culture and the position. During the Manager interview, you can ask in-depth questions about the position and the team, growth opportunities and their own particular management style.
Pro-tip
Researching our company and product (including registering and exploring) is a good idea. Coming prepared with a set of questions that demonstrate your understanding of who we are and what we do always makes a positive impression. You’ll make an even better impression when you articulate why you want to work for Moonfare and the specific position.
This is your opportunity to showcase your skills and abilities. We will send you a challenge that will vary depending on the role (e.g. portfolio presentation for designers, role play for customer service or technical test for developers). You will have an appropriate amount of time to complete your challenge. After we review your submission, you may be invited to present your challenge to a few members of our team so that we can discuss your thought process.
Pro-tip: Stay within the allotted time to complete your challenge, but do your best! We know quality, originality and effort when we see it.
Pro-tip (technical roles): Be ready for a wide variety and depth of questions relevant to the technical elements of the role for which you are interviewing. Prepare some examples of projects or work portfolios that align with the role.
As the final step, you will have two separate culture interviews; one with two members of the team or teams you will be working closely with, and the other with one of our leaders (Head/VP/MD). These interviews focus on behavioural questions related to 'Core Cultural Attributes'. For you, it is a chance to determine whether the working and leadership culture at Moonfare align with your goals. Candidates often ask questions like: How does Moonfare put its values into practice? Can you describe what you like about working at Moonfare? What surprised you once you came on board? What does the future look like for Moonfare? Plus anything else you can think of that will help you make an informed decision about joining Moonfare.
Pro-tip: run this like your own interview. Do not be afraid to ask tough questions — we have likely asked you a few by this stage!
We receive many job applications for each vacancy. We know that job applications, especially the best ones, take a lot of work to write and perfect. Unfortunately, we are only able to provide feedback to candidates who are invited to interview with us. At the very least, you will receive an email telling you whether we're moving forward with your application.
If you have any questions about a role, please contact recruitment@moonfare.com
The introductory call can take as long as an hour. The aim is for our team to get a more in-depth understanding of your experience and alignment with the position. We also take the time to explain Moonfare and the role, as well as answer any questions you might have.
Plan how you will pitch yourself, including why you want to work for Moonfare and in this particular role. Brainstorm your most impressive, role-relevant skills and experiences. For example, if the position involves project management, think of an exciting project you ran, how you scoped it, who you involved, challenges, key learnings and how you determined whether it was a success. Preparing examples takes a lot of the stress out of the experience. For all interview responses, we recommend the STAR method (https://www.themuse.com/advice/star-interview-method).
Candidate experience is crucial to us. We use a tool called Survale to collect your feedback at each stage of our hiring process. We use your feedback, both positive and negative, to improve interviewer training, standards and efficacy.
Depending on whether you have external contact with clients/investors, our everyday dress code is casual and comfortable. For an onsite interview, we recommend thinking about the role and the type of impression you’d like to make.
If you're presenting, we recommend bringing your own laptop as you know your own equipment best. However, we have spare computers for onsite presentations if you don’t bring your own.
Being interested in the company and the product is a good sign. We encourage you to come prepared with questions.
Our standard process is to conduct reference checks with former employers once we have presented you with an offer. We do not need to speak with your current employer.
Working student: you must be a current university student in good standing and interested in working up to 20 hours per week during class periods (unlimited outside of class periods). Intern: if you’ve recently graduated from university and are looking to gain entry-level experience across a range of areas, we encourage you to apply for any internship in which you may be interested.
Our interns and working students receive an onboarding pack (provided by Mula), a laptop, a standing invitation to participate in team events and activities and access to our company-provided Smunch lunches. Many of our interns and working students have become invaluable members of our team and have gone onto full-time positions at Moonfare.
Because of the requirements associated with writing a thesis with a job placement, we cannot help with this.
e’re a modern financial company with a strong tech background. This means that unless you have an external-facing role involving face-to-face meetings with potential clients (where more professional attire may be required), you are welcome to wear smart casual. T-shirts and shorts/jeans are fine.
It all depends on the role. We generally state in the job description whether travel is required. Even if it isn't specified, you may still need to travel on some occasions. Please feel free to discuss this at any stage of the interview process, alhough this will be explained to you, as well.
We are a diverse, international team from 40+ countries who speak at least as many languages. Our offiical language, however, is English.
