Rocket Media’s Hiring Process
Our Hiring Process
To find great people you have to be intentional, this is how we go about hiring at Rocket HQ
We take our hiring process seriously, so much so that we’ve spent time outlining the process every applicant will go through before they are hired at Rocket Media. It’s an intentional process designed to help us find the right fit for the position(s).
In general, the process can be broken down into three core segments.
1. Initial Screening
First, does the applicant really want this job? Did they submit everything we’ve asked them for? Is their cover letter addressed to us or someone else? Do they have more than a pulse — seriously? You’d be surprised at how many applications we receive from folks who are just looking for a J.O.B. Sorry, we don’t have any of those at Rocket Media.

2. Assessments
Next, we need to make sure they can perform the work they are applying for. Do they really have the technical skills we are seeking? This is discovered through conversations, assessments and other methods of discovery. The proof is in the pudding at this point.
