At CluneTech, our recruitment process goes beyond evaluating candidates' technical skills. We focus on aligning candidates with our core values of respect, innovation, passion, and #OneTeam. This commitment is reflected in our detailed and thoughtfully crafted interview feedback process. Aoife O’Brien, CluneTech’s Recruitment Manager shares more about how these values are integrated into our hiring process.
“Our recruitment process stands out for its comprehensive, values-driven approach. By focusing not only on technical skills but also on cultural fit, respect, innovation, and passion, we ensure that every hire contributes to the company's long-term success and continues to foster a positive, collaborative environment. Our fully updated feedback form gives interviewers the tools to assess a candidate’s potential from every angle, ensuring that new hires are not only capable professionals but also passionate, innovative team players who embody the company’s core values.”
One of CluneTech’s core values is respect—respect for colleagues, clients, and the company's values. This is reflected directly in the interview process through a specific evaluation criterion titled “Respect.” Interviewers are asked to assess how well candidates demonstrate respect towards others, including the interviewer, peers, and the company's core identity.
Candidates who exhibit empathy, consideration, and professional courtesy are highly valued, as they align with CluneTech’s collaborative work environment. The interview feedback form prompts interviewers to note specific behaviors, such as how a candidate listens to others or their ability to engage in respectful dialogue, providing valuable insights into a candidate's potential to contribute positively to team dynamics.
An example of this might be when a candidate listens attentively to the interviewer’s questions and responds thoughtfully, demonstrating not only respect for the process but also a willingness to understand and engage with others.
CluneTech thrives on innovation and the continuous pursuit of creative solutions. In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, the ability to think outside the box is essential. Candidates are evaluated based on their ability to think creatively and approach problems with fresh perspectives.
They are asked to demonstrate their willingness to explore new ideas, offer innovative solutions, and think beyond traditional methods. An example might be a candidate who proposes a unique solution to a problem during a technical discussion or suggests a new tool or approach that could improve existing processes—demonstrating their commitment to innovation.
Passion for the work and the industry is a key indicator of long-term success at CluneTech. The “Passion” section of the interview feedback form assesses a candidate’s enthusiasm for the role, the company, and the tech industry in general. CluneTech values candidates who are genuinely excited about the work they do, as this passion often translates into higher motivation, greater creativity, and a more engaged, proactive approach to their responsibilities.
A candidate who could score highly in this area is someone who asks insightful questions about the company’s vision, challenges, or growth opportunities and demonstrates an eagerness to learn and demonstrates a strong alignment with CluneTech’s passion-driven culture.
A strong cultural fit is not just about being technically competent; it’s about how a candidate’s personality and working style complement the existing team and company culture. The “Cultural Fit / Team Compatibility” part of the interviewing process is designed to evaluate how well a candidate would integrate into the team and adapt to CluneTech’s collaborative, inclusive, and supportive environment.
A candidate who demonstrates clear communication, collaboration skills, and a willingness to support colleagues would be considered a strong cultural fit.
Thе holistic approach to recruitment reinforces CluneTech’s commitment to building a diverse, respectful, and innovative workforce - one that is poised to drive the company’s mission forward while staying true to its values of collaboration, innovation, and excellence.
