Excellence in Recruitment Strategies

Excellence in Candidate Experience
Snyk’s Emerging Talent team prioritizes providing a best-in-class candidate experience at every touchpoint.

The interview process is thoughtfully designed to offer insights into Snyk’s culture and the specific opening, empowering candidates to make informed decisions. Recognizing the importance of this experience for early career talent, the team proactively guides and supports students throughout the entirety of their Snyk candidacy. Candidates have the opportunity to come onsite for their interview, allowing them to gain a firsthand understanding of the organization’s environment. To continue innovating on and strengthening the program, the team sends a post-interview survey to collect data on the experience and make improvements for the future.
Excellence in DE&I
Snyk is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce at all levels. Recognizing the impact of a diverse early career program, the Emerging Talent team partners with local university organizations to connect with underrepresented talent. They prioritize inclusive hiring practices through building diverse hiring teams that bolster an equitable workplace. This allows them to attract talent from various backgrounds. To foster a sense of belonging and professional growth, early career Snykers are encouraged to participate in Snyk Resource Groups (SRGs), Snyk Impact initiatives, and a tailored mentorship program. SRGs foster a community and inclusivity while Snyk Impact empowers giving back through volunteer opportunities. The mentorship program facilitates connections with experienced employees who share common interests, skills, and backgrounds, promoting a supportive and engaging environment.
