Selection Process

Labaid uses interviews to learn more about your personality, your interests, your goals, and what stimulates you intellectually. The interview process will give us an opportunity to see if you fit in with the intellectual climate at Labaid and will give us a better sense of how your mind breaks down complex tasks. The series of interviews allows us to gauge your ability to deal with uncertainty and react to changing circumstances.
