Learn How We Hire at Zscaler
The first leadership principle at Zscaler is to hire, develop, and inspire the best. It’s no accident that Hire is the first word in the first leadership principle. We believe talented people are the most critical part of our company, and we believe in fostering high-performance teams through always-on feedback. Transparency is key to establishing trust in our process. Read below on how we champion a fair and equitable hiring process.
Interviewing at Zscaler
We believe that interviewing at Zscaler is a two-way process. While we are assessing your fit and qualifications for our needs and company, you are also assessing us for the same. This means it can be direct, transparent and collaborative—not unlike working at Zscaler.
Application
At the application stage, we review your background, relevant experience, skills, and competencies to select the most qualified candidates to proceed to the next stage. This means those advancing have the strongest qualifications that align with our open roles.
What will help you stand out are high-impact roles, progression in previous roles, a variety of experiences (but not job hoppiness), and strong skills that align with the role you are applying to. We value directness and clarity, so your resume should tell us who you are, what you stand for, the impact you have made, and the thoughtfulness of your career choices.
Recruiter Review
For candidates advancing to this stage, a recruiter will reach out to discuss the role and provide an overview of working at Zscaler, including insights about the department and the team. The recruiter can also address your questions and ask role-specific questions to further determine the strength of alignment to the role.
Manager Review
Recruiters will present candidates who strongly align with the role requirements and our cultural values for review and discussion. At this stage, managers will consider both current and future needs, as well as the diversity of team member experiences, to enrich the team's and the company's culture.
Interviews
We believe in a clear, equitable and consistent assessment of candidates who proceed to this stage. As such we utilize structured interviewing to enable these outcomes. You will be asked to meet with several interviewers, including the hiring manager, who will be covering the following areas:
Interviewers are encouraged to highlight any concerns or potential development areas, even when recommending a candidate. We believe everyone has growth opportunities, and this feedback helps the hiring manager set the selected candidate up for success.
Decision
We will then review the collective feedback from the interviews and assessment process, align to the job posting and requirements, and will make a decision on whether to extend an offer. All candidates who have interviewed will receive updates from their recruiter irrespective of an offer.
Offer
The recruiter will contact the successful candidate with offer details including an overview of Zscaler, our benefits, programs, and cultural values.
We proudly offer various inclusive benefits and perks to meet the diverse needs of our employees and their families.
