How We Ensure a Fair Hiring Process
- Interview Training: Every interviewer and hiring manager undergoes comprehensive training.
- Structured Interviews: We conduct organized, standardized interviews to ensure fairness.
- Team Calibration: Before interviewing candidates, our team discusses and aligns on the role’s requirements and interview questions.

- Candidate-Focused: We want all candidates to finish their interviews with a deeper understanding of the role and a heightened appreciation of Spokeo, regardless of the outcome.
Application Process
Begin by applying on our careers page, responding to a job posting, or getting a referral from someone familiar with your work. You’ll be asked to submit your resume, relevant work documents (like portfolios or certifications), social media profiles, and a cover letter highlighting your suitability for the role.
After you apply, our interview process consists of three main stages:
First Stage: Recruiter Screen
You’ll have a 30–45 minute video call with a Spokeo recruiter covering your background, interests, and current employment situation, along with technical questions assessing key skills. You can also clear up any initial questions about the position or Spokeo.
Second Stage: Manager Screen
In a 45–to 60-minute video call with the hiring manager or a senior team member, you’ll discuss the skills, environment, tools, and deliverables related to the position as well as some sample scenarios. This stage assesses both technical skills and your past projects and decisions, including successes and learning experiences.
We give technical assessments via an online platform or a take-home assignment for some positions. This may take place in either the first or second stage. Your recruiter will provide more details.
Third Stage: Final Interview
This stage includes 3–6 video interviews which comprehensively assess your fit with the position and Spokeo. The interviews can be scheduled for one day or over several dates. During this time, you’ll meet potential future colleagues and further explore Spokeo’s business model and culture. Afterward, the interview team meets to discuss their feedback and make a hiring recommendation.
Our interview process is a collaborative effort involving co-founders, executives, managers, interviewers, and our Talent Team. It’s dynamic and quality-focused, continuing to evolve based on insights and feedback from candidates like you.
