Interview Process

This is an overview of our step-by-step plan to interview qualified candidates: 

  1. Phone screen: A call that takes 10 to 15 minutes where the potential candidate is given general information about Fullstack Labs and is asked four to five general questions regarding their professional experience. We also assess the candidate’s communication skills as well as salary expectations. 
  2. General Coding Assessment (GCA): A standardized test that helps us measure core programming and computer science knowledge. This standard test is provided by CodeSignal. We only move forward with candidates that achieve a score of 650+.
  3. First Interview: A 60-minute interview to dig into their past extensively. We evaluate the candidate’s job history and dig into significant projects the candidate has participated in.
  4. Take-home coding challenge: An assignment that the candidates record via video with specific technical tasks to complete. 
  5. Coding challenge review: The coding challenge is reviewed by our CTO, Mike Piccolo, and our CIO, Ben Carle, to see if it was done correctly and is assigned a grade. 
  6. Final Interview: If the candidate succeeded with the take-home challenge, they have a final interview with our CTO and CIO. We invest significant time from our CTO or CIO to recruit the right high-quality applicants.

How to make a job offer to a Vue developer?

After interviewing your qualified candidates and making a decision on which Vue developers you want to add to your team, you should send a job offer. This is an extra opportunity to communicate to the candidates about your company's culture. Then they can decide if your company is a good match or if it's not. We attach the following documents to our job offers:

This includes details on the roles and responsibilities of the position, location, manager, title, compensation, benefits, PTO, etc.

As the CEO of FullStack Labs, my primary responsibility is for the management of the company. I manage and directly contribute to many different departments within the company, including recruiting and hiring, marketing and sales, bookkeeping and accounting, tax and legal, and general operations. I take a hands on approach to management, meaning I prefer to roll up my sleeves and work directly on projects, instead of managing through meetings, policy, and bureaucracy. Prior to FullStack Labs, I was Vice President of Sales and Partner at CAE, where we built an industry-leading marketplace for buying and selling used capital equipment. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the California State University Sacramento with a degree in Business Administration.
