Interview Process: what’s it look like?
Once your resume / CV is submitted, our talent team will review your application. If your experience appears to align with the role, we may ask you to complete a short questionnaire to gather additional context.
For more technically-focused roles, we will likely also request work samples (e.g. code or design samples) to get a better sense of how well your skills align with our standards and best practices.
If we see a potential fit, you’ll connect with a member of our talent team for an initial video call. In this conversation, we’ll:
Please note that for some roles, step 2 & 3 may be reversed.
Some candidates may be asked to complete a short take-home exercise that reflects hypothetical, job-relevant scenarios. These exercises:
Next, you’ll meet with a discipline director or a senior team member from the department you're applying to (e.g., Design, Engineering, Project Management, etc.). This stage focuses on role-specific questions and real-world problem-solving scenarios. Depending on the discipline, the format may vary. It could include a case study, a portfolio walkthrough, or a peer interview. In some cases, this stage may be split into two separate interviews.
While the structure can differ slightly depending on the role, we’ll always provide a clear overview of what to expect when scheduling the interview so you can feel confident and well-prepared.
Finalists typically meet with a Vice President, Discipline Leader, or other team stakeholder. This conversation may cover a mix of strategic, technical, and culture-alignment topics, and is a chance for both you and the leader to ask any remaining questions and discuss expectations for a potential offer.
If we’re aligned on role fit and project needs, we’ll move into the offer process. We’ll collaborate closely with you to ensure clarity around compensation, logistics, and expectations.
Our talent team will keep you informed throughout the process. We aim to provide weekly updates and respond promptly to questions. Our goal is a transparent, thoughtful, and respectful hiring experience for every candidate.
Fueled Contractor Network
At Fueled, we operate in a fast-moving, client-driven environment. Due to the nature of agency work, our hiring needs can shift quickly—sometimes within days, sometimes over the course of a few months.
For that reason, we don’t always hire against immediate openings. Instead, we maintain an active contractor network and stay in touch with candidates whose experience aligns with the type of work we take on. When the right opportunity arises, we’re able to move quickly and thoughtfully.
While the exact process may vary depending on the role and team availability, here’s what you can typically expect:

Because we are often building relationships ahead of specific needs, not every candidate will move through the full process right away, and this process may move slowly. We want you to know this ahead of time.

This allows us to be respectful of your time while still keeping you top of mind for future work.
