Hello Applicants! We’re delighted that you have applied to be a Tech Fellow 🎉

Please read this document in full for essential information about the hiring process

To ensure our staffing plan aligns with our enrollment numbers each term we use two strategies: (1) Rolling Admissions and (2) Bench Hiring.

❇️ Rolling Admissions

Throughout the open application period, we review applications as they are submitted. We then begin admitting Tech Fellows in weekly, time-sensitive small batches.

<aside> 💡

For Fall 2025, our first batch of soft offers will go out August 11, 2025 5:00 PM (PDT). We’ll continue to send out batched offers each week until September 1, 2025 5:00 PM (PDT) or until all TF spots have been filled.

📌 Check the email you applied with each Monday

Applicants have only 24 hours to take action at each step in the onboarding process. If you are not able to take the specified actions within the provided timeline, for any reason, your current offer will close, and may or may not be reopened, pending role availability.

• Mondays by 5pm: Soft Offers are sent out and candidates have 24 hours to respond.
• Tuesdays by 5pm: Soft offers that have not been responded to will be closed and may or may not re-open in a future batch**.**
• Wednesdays by 5pm: DocuSign assignment letters are sent to those who have accepted their soft offer. Candidates have 24 hours to respond.
• Thursdays by 5pm: Assignment letters that have not been signed will be cancelled and may or may not re-open in a future batch
• Thursday - Monday: New hires sign up for CoAdvantage and complete their I9 paperwork and virtual appointment. (Not required for Returning TFs who are already setup in CoAdvantage)

Don’t forget to check your email regularly to ensure you receive and action each step in the offer and onboarding process

📌 Please wait to share news of your offer with other TFs and students until after our hiring window closes.

<aside> 💡

For Fall 2025, our hiring window closes on September 6, 2025. All final decisions and assignment confirmations will be communicated by this time.

While we know receiving an offer is exciting, we don’t want applicants to worry about their status while offers are still being processed, and we are not able to field questions about specific applications.

❇️ Bench Hiring

In addition to rolling admissions, we employ a bench roster to help our organization better align staffing with our enrollment.
