Reviewing Applications 🔎
Every application is carefully reviewed by one of our Talent Partners (not a robot 🤖). You’ll notice that all roles have application questions. We understand that this adds more time to your application, but your answers to these questions are really important to us. We do genuinely read all of them!
We ask that you please submit your application in English as it’s the main language here at Edpuzzle. If we decide to move forward, we’ll invite you to a first interview. But, regrettably, we won’t have enough time to meet everyone. If we don’t think we’re a match, we’ll also let you know by email as soon as possible.
Please note we’re unfortunately unable to provide individual feedback on your application at this early stage of the process.
