When you first start working at a new company, there are things you wish you knew before joining…

Like not knowing you had to climb 5 flights of stairs every day or working in an area with lots of noisy construction. 

So to save you the trouble, we’re sharing the 4 things you should know before joining Hiredly!

1. The Interview Process: Two Stages

Just like any other company, expect to go through an interview process before joining the Hiredly team.

But did you know there are 2 stages of interviews for you to go through? You’ll have to pass both to land a job as a Hiredly Hiro (that’s what we call ourselves).

Stage 1: Phone Screening with People & Culture
The first stage is a phone screening with our People & Culture team. This is where we get to know you better, understand your career goals, and see if you align with what we’re looking for.

Stage 2: Skill-Based Interview with the Hiring Manager
Once you pass the phone screening, the next step is a skill-based interview with the hiring manager. We will assess your skills and experience, and depending on the department you applied for, there might also be a skill test.

2. Interns Are Not Expected to Make Coffee

You know how some interns only get coffee for their seniors and do mundane tasks like photocopy documents?

Not at Hiredly!

Real Responsibilities
Our managers don’t hire interns to do paperwork or “chores” they don’t want to do. Because of this, Hiredly is where you’ll get a real feel of a working environment.

Make an Impact
Even interns can make an impact at Hiredly. Interns hold real responsibilities and perform like a full-timer (with guidance from your seniors, of course).

Check out what our former interns have to say about their internship experience in this article.

3. Don’t Join Us If You Think We Are Fun

All play and no work do not make a successful company.

Flexible, But Focused
Flexible hours, casual dress codes, and informal work settings are just some of the things we do to create a happy and comfortable work environment.

Work With Purpose
But do not mistake our “fun environment” for low performance. At Hiredly, we hold true to our visions, missions, and targets. We do all we can to match people to the companies they belong to!

So we provide a conducive environment for our team to stay motivated and do their best work. We also trust our team to deliver their tasks without abusing our flexibility.

4. Parking Is Tough to Find

Ever tried parking at Plaza TTDI?

If you have, then you know that it’s tough.

Parking Challenges
By 9 AM, the free parking outside is almost always full. In-building parking, on the other hand, is waaay too expensive for you to be paying every day.

Convenient Alternatives
Luckily for us, our building is located just a 2-3 minute walk from the TTDI MRT Station. Apart from that, confirmed staff have access to subsidised parking if they choose to drive.

On the bright side, finding food around here is a breeze. There are so many options to choose from. So we guess it all balances out!

5. Change is the Only Constant at Hiredly

If you’re looking for a company where things stay the same forever… Hiredly might not be the right place for you.

We pivot fast, fail fast, and adapt quickly to new directions. What worked yesterday might not work tomorrow, and we’re totally okay with that.

We experiment, test, and refine.
We believe in learning from failures.

We stay focused on our mission—but the way we achieve it keeps evolving.

If you love fast-paced environments, trying new ideas, and embracing constant change, you’ll thrive here! But if you’re someone who enjoys routine, repetition, and long-term predictability, then Hiredly might not be the best fit.

Have we scared you off?

Don’t worry, we’re sure you’ll like it here just fine!

For a lot of us, Hiredly is the place we got to grow our careers in a supportive environment. Our 6 ex-interns will vouch for that.

So come join us!

We are always hiring ambitious, driven individuals. Check out our company profile to find a role that suits you and we’ll see you very soon!
