What is the hiring process at Pinterest?

If you are an appealing candidate, the first stage is an initial phone call screening with the recruiter. The recruiters with Pinterest ensure that you have time for questions and don't feel rushed.

The next step is a video interview with a hiring manager. The hiring managers at Pinterest are known to be very informative and clear about the role you are seeking.

Next stage is four 30-minute interviews with cross-functional colleagues you would be working with in your day-to-day if you get the role. Here you are asked a variety of behavioral and scenario-based questions. You also may be required to present your work portfolio or some other case study provided by Pinterest.

At all times during the hiring process, you have communication with your Pinterest recruiter. The recruiter continuously asks you if there is anything they can facilitate to improve the candidate experience.

Certain roles at Pinterest require you to complete technical company assessment tests. This occurs for roles such as software developers. Here are some questions to expect in your interviews with Pinterest:

• Do you have a portfolio?

• Why Pinterest vs. other social media channels?

• Have you ever had to convince a client to change a campaign key performance indicator? If so, how did you approach that?
