What to Expect
This is a chance for you to learn more about Flexport and the role, and for us to understand more about your previous experience. You can expect the following from our interview teams:
Behavioral Based Interviewing
You’ll discover our interview team will ask questions about your past experiences and how you worked through situations with team members. Sharing your experiences using the STAR method gives the interviewer an opportunity to better understand the situation, task, actions and results of your example.
Value Based Interviewing
At Flexport, we hire individuals who can add value to our culture, not fit in with it. We’re looking for specific examples of the way you have approached similar situations in the past to get an idea of how you will impact the Flexport culture by upholding our values and collaborating with team members.
Your interviewer will give you the opportunity to ask more questions about the role, the team, future plans and expectations. We hope by the end of this conversation, we are aligned and set up for success, should you be our next hire!
