The WebFX Hiring Process
WebFX has been growing steadily for the last ten years: from humble beginnings in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, all the way to our new riverfront home in Harrisburg. And as the #1 Best Place to Work in PA, we take our responsibilities as community leaders very seriously.
We’re always looking for smart, capable, and ambitious people. This is your chance to make a lasting mark at a fast-growing internet marketing company — and our process is designed to get to know the real you.
Why our process works
Our process is designed to help you learn about WebFX while we learn about you. Here’s exactly what to expect.
Structured and Consistent
The same steps and the same hiring team for every role, so we can fairly and consistently assess fit — and consider you for roles you might not have pictured.
Collaborative and Multi-Step
You’ll meet with several members of our hiring team to explore different parts of WebFX, ask questions, and help us match your strengths, goals, and interests to the right role. Because many WebFXers build lasting careers here, our process is intentionally more comprehensive than you might expect for an entry-level role — we’ve found that investing time upfront creates the strongest long-term fit for everyone.
Finding the best fit, together
Sometimes the perfect fit is the role you applied for — sometimes it’s one that aligns even more closely. Either way, the goal is a career you’ll love for years.
How to prepare for your interview
Our interviews are designed to be conversations—not tests. Rather than asking you to recite rehearsed answers or solve trick questions, we’ll ask about your experiences and how you’ve approached different situations. We want to get to know how you think, learn, collaborate, and solve problems.
The best preparation is simple:
- Explore our Careers page and the roles that interest you so you have a sense of the day-to-day work and can ask questions about what excites you most.
- Come with questions—we want you to evaluate whether WebFX is the right fit for you, too.
- Think about a few experiences from school, work, internships, extracurriculars, or volunteer activities that you’re comfortable discussing. You don’t need to memorize answers—we’re interested in an authentic conversation.
Our goal isn’t to see who prepared the “perfect” response. It’s to get to know you and help you learn more about us.
A four-step process
Our process is designed to help you learn about WebFX while we learn about you. Here’s exactly what to expect.
-
Phone Interview
If your application aligns well with what we’re looking for, you’ll be invited to a 30-minute phone interview with one of our Talent Acquisition Specialists. This conversation helps us get to know you better — your background, career goals, and how your strengths may align with opportunities at WebFX.
During higher-volume application periods, you may have the option to complete an AI-guided screening as a more flexible way to begin the interview process. It’s completely optional, all responses are reviewed by our team, and you’re always welcome to speak directly with a human interviewer instead.
Regardless of the initial screening method, all hiring decisions at WebFX are made by our team, ensuring every candidate receives personalized and thoughtful consideration.
-
Written Interview + Strengths Showcase
Next, you’ll have the chance to share more about your experiences, accomplishments, and goals through a short written interview. This helps us get a clearer sense of how you communicate and think.
You’ll also be asked to complete a low-pressure skill/personality assessment as part of this stage. Think of these as a way to showcase your strengths and preferences — not tests you need to “pass.” They’re just one of several ways we get to know you better and find the role that fits you best.
-
First In-Depth Conversation
In this step, you’ll have a longer interview with a member of our hiring team. It’s a more detailed conversation where we’ll explore your fit across different teams, answer your questions, and learn more about what motivates you.
If you’re interviewing for a role based in our Harrisburg, Lancaster, or York, PA offices, this interview will take place in person at our Harrisburg headquarters. We know choosing a new job is a big decision, and we want you to feel confident every step of the way — meeting face-to-face gives you the chance to experience our HQ firsthand, including our riverfront views and coffee bar, and to meet some of the team in person.
If you’re interviewing for a role outside of Pennsylvania, interview formats vary by location, and our team will let you know whether we plan to meet virtually or onsite at a local hub.
-
Final Interview
This is your final conversation with a member of our hiring team. As with the previous step, if you’re interviewing for a role in our Harrisburg, Lancaster, or York, PA offices, this interview will be held in person at our Harrisburg headquarters. If you’re interviewing for a role outside of Pennsylvania, interview formats vary by location, and our team will let you know whether we plan to meet virtually or onsite at a local hub.
We’ll go deeper into your potential role, answer any remaining questions, and ensure that the opportunity is the right fit for you — not just now, but for your long-term career growth.
Depending on the role and how your experience aligns, this stage may also include a brief skills assessment (such as a coding exercise) or a short job shadow with one of our team members. These steps are used selectively to give both you and our team additional insight — whether that’s into your technical skills or how your strengths might match across different teams.
Not every candidate will complete these steps; we only include them when they’re helpful in making the best mutual match. If we think one would be a good fit for your process, we’ll keep you posted along the way.
