How We Hire.

Time for Something New?

Finding the perfect job can be fraught with problems. Will you find a team that genuinely wants the best for you and your career? Will your new employer support you for years to come? Our hiring process isn’t a lengthy parade of interviews, anxious waiting and unfair questions. We want to be different. And we seek out those who are different. Fearless folk, quirky creatives and inspiring individuals who put their heart and soul into what they do. The words ‘Work’ and ‘Happy’ don’t often go hand in hand. We want to change this.

Finding the Role

You’ve seen Kubix on your social media channels, found us on Google, or heard about us through friends or family. Either way, you’re on the hunt for something new, and you’re hoping that Kubix can provide this for you. Great start. If you like the sound of us, then we’re sure to like the sound of you.

If you’re keen to join our team, many of our available roles can be found in the Careers page on our website. Here we’ll list a description of any roles we’re looking to hire for, a little bit about working at Kubix and what we’d love to see in potential candidates that walk through our door.

But do not take this list as gospel. If you can’t spot the perfect role for you, it doesn’t matter. Our vacancies aren’t necessarily the definitive ‘be all and end all’ when it comes to Kubix Careers. If you love the sound of our team and think you could add value, then drop our team an email or knock on the door. We review each and every application that comes through our website, and then send out invitations to those we’d like to meet face-to-face.

We love innovation. And if you show some gumption, we’re going to love you.

Our Recruitment Process

One of our guiding principles is clarity, and we like to practise what we preach. Our hiring process isn’t a mystery (well, it won’t be once you’ve read this). 

There’s four stages: 

1. You send your application by filling in a form on our website and sending us your CV. We’ll then review all the CVs we receive, and create a shortlist. 
2. If you’re on our shortlist, we’ll send you an email with a handy link to book in a first stage interview Zoom call.
3. We’ll then speak to you on Zoom - this initial conversation will simply be your opportunity to get to know Kubix, and our opportunity to get to know you! 
4. If we seem like a good match, then we’ll invite you to a second interview, in person at our office here in Digbeth, Birmingham. This interview will be more tailored to the role you’re applying for, and you’ll get to meet some of the team you could be working with. 

Getting Here

Nobody likes to get invited to an office and realise that they have no idea where they’re based. Digbeth especially can be a bit of a minefield when it comes to parking and public transport. That’s why we’ll send you a handy travel guide and map once you’re invited to interview with us.

But everyone likes a heads up: our office is located in the heart of Digbeth at The Bond, a stunning canal-side building with almost two centuries of history. The Bond is located at 180-182 Fazeley Street, Birmingham B5 5SE. We're just down the road from Birmingham’s Custard Factory. Perfect for a post-work trip to Golf Fang for a round of crazy golf, or one of Digbeth’s many restaurants and street-food vendors.

Your Time To Shine

In any interview with Kubix, we want to know what makes you you. Where your passions lie, what you do in your spare time, what you want to achieve in your career, and how Kubix can potentially get you there.

We don’t believe in long lists of questions, and tricky presentations designed to get you flustered. If anything, our interview team will do all they can to ensure that your interview is a fluster-free zone. 

Of course, we’ll always cover off some of the basics. If you’re a developer, we would expect you to know your Liquid code from your PHP. Likewise if you claim to be the next best thing in Paid Media, we’ll expect you to know your CPC from your AOV. But once those formalities are out of the way, the time is yours. Make it count. As our CEO Looay loves to say: opportunities are not missed. They are simply seized by others.

Four little words mark the start of our Kubix mission statement: Never Stop Growing - Together. Four words; one vision for us and our clients. If you have a desire to grow and to help those around you, then in a Kubix interview you won’t go far wrong. Find a way to surprise and delight us, and we’ll be introducing you to the rest of the team in no time. And chances are you’ll already know how to work the coffee machine.

6. Getting Feedback

Waiting to hear whether you’ve landed a role or not can be a hideous, nail-biting time. Here at Kubix, we don’t believe in keeping you waiting. We also don’t believe in pulling you back to our offices for interview after interview, or giving you dozens of tasks to complete. If it’s right, then we want you to know as soon as possible. And if it’s not, then we see no point in dragging it out. Many of our interviewees receive honest feedback straight away to get an idea of how they performed, and will be told about the next steps in the process. Naturally when we have multiple candidates for a role, then the process might take a couple of weeks, but we believe in keeping you updated on the position regularly.

Sometimes fate intervenes. We’ve had cases where we’ve said to a candidate that it wasn’t the right time for them. Perhaps they were up against some fierce contenders for a competitive role. Perhaps they were too late in applying. Then something changes. Another role lands on our Kubix desks, and we know instantly that the person we met a while back would suit it perfectly. We believe in keeping those lines of communication open and honest, so that no one misses an opportunity that would be ideal for them.

7. And When You’ve Done It?

This is it. You’ve smashed the interview, mastered the coffee machine and now you’ve got a brand new Kubix job offer sitting patiently in your email inbox.

Firstly, congratulations. It’s time to grow. The lucky few that make it to our team are talented and come with tonnes of energy. Prepare yourself for a world of busy projects, big brands and a loveable team who will support you all the way.

Before starting, we’ll provide you with all the documentation needed to enrol you as an official Kubix employee. And in the meantime? Get excited! Connect with us. Check out our social media. Read our blogs. Learn what it is to be part of this journey, and we will welcome you with open arms. Your first day at Kubix will hopefully mark one of the most important beginnings of your career. We’ll be happy to have you with us.

We look forward to meeting you. You know what to do:
