How we hire at Porch Group
Here's what to expect at each stage of our hiring process, and how to prepare.
From application to offer, we want you to feel informed, supported, and confident.
Step 1:
Start Your Application
Find an open role that fits your experience, skills, and potential, then submit your application. Not sure you meet every requirement? Apply anyway.
Step 2:
Intro Call with a Talent Acquisition Partner
If your profile is a match, a Talent Acquisition Partner (recruiter) will reach out to set up a conversation.
We'll get to know you and your background, and share what working at Porch is really like. Come with questions. This call is as much for you as it is for us. Your Talent Acquisition Partner will tell you up front what to expect in the interview process and keep you informed along the way.
Step 3:
Interviews with the Hiring Manager
After a successful first conversation, you may meet the Hiring Manager, along with leaders and teammates from across the business. We want to understand how you collaborate, solve problems, and learn from experience.
It's also your chance to get to know us. Depending on the role, we may also ask you to complete a skills / technical assessment or task before or after these conversations.
Step 4:
Tasks and Final Decision
Once interviews wrap up, your Talent Acquisition Partner will follow up with feedback and next steps.
We move as quickly as we can, though timelines vary by role and by how many candidates are in process.
Step 5:
Welcome to the Porch Group Team
When the fit is mutual, you'll receive an offer. Offers are contingent on passing a background check, and we'll guide you through that and through onboarding, including equipment delivery, so you're set up for success on day one.
If the timing isn't right this round, stay in touch. Keep visiting our Careers site and follow us on LinkedIn to stay connected with Porch.
We hire by the same five values we work by.
No Jerks/No Egos
The journey starts with who you bring along and the most important person is who you choose to be. Choose each day to set the example in your actions and your attitude. Keep an open mind to feedback and different perspectives. Show kindness and respect to others, especially in conflict.
Be Ambitious
Any journey worth taking will push you beyond your sights. Don’t let uncertainty keep you from believing in what is possible. Push yourself to think big, to make every day count and to be optimistic it will be worth it.
Solve Each Problem
Along the way, you will encounter challenges and opportunities and how you respond will forever mark your journey. Look at each as a problem to solve. Be thoughtful in your approach and let data drive your decisions. Learn and adapt as you go and persevere until you solve it.
Care Deeply
While the problems you solve set your path, the magic is in the everyday moments. Go above and beyond to make something right or show someone they matter. Invest in understanding and developing a connection with the people you serve. Take pride in the work you do and make sure it is done well.
Together We Win
At the end of the journey, you will think most about who stood beside you and who you did, or did not, help along the way. Fight to win, but fight harder to win together. Focus on the team before yourself. Take ownership and make everyone you bring along better for having been on the journey with you.

Start with the job description. Everything we ask comes from it, so read it closely and make sure your résumé speaks to it. Then think of a few real examples from your work: a goal you hit, a problem you solved, a customer you turned around. Walk us through what happened and what you did. We're not looking for perfect answers. We're looking for how you think.
