Recruitment Process

Our process is consistent across all roles and is designed to assess genuine technical depth. Candidates should expect the following stages

• Stage 1 - Initial screening with TA (30 mins)
• Stage 2 - Technical Screen (45 mins) - Meet the VP Trading Ops
• Stage 3 - Onsite interview - Meet your future teammates (60 mins)
• Stage 4 - Final interview - Meet the Global Head of Trading Ops (30 mins)

On the agenda, discussions rather than trick questions! These moments of exchange will allow you to understand how Flowdesk works and its values. But they are also (and above all) an opportunity for you to present your career path and your expectations for your next job!

If you require any reasonable adjustments or have specific needs to enable you to participate fully in the interview or assessment process (e.g., a sign language interpreter, extra time for a test, or an accessible location), please contact us to discuss how we can support you.
