The recruitment process at Jamf involved three stages: an initial interview with the recruiter, a second one with the manager, and a third requiring a case presentation to the manager and channel director. It seemed like there might have been yet another round after this. While the recruiter was professional and approachable, the rest of the process felt overly exhaustive and lacked a personal, empathetic touch. The interviewers came across as distant, and there was little effort to make the experience comfortable for candidates, despite the significant time and preparation required. One issue I’ve noticed in tech recruitment in general—and this may or may not apply to Jamf—is that candidates with referrals often seem to have an advantage. Referrals sometimes come with access to insider information about workflows, expectations, or even hints for case presentations, which creates an uneven playing field for external candidates. While I can’t say for sure if this happened here, it’s something worth considering for any company aiming to ensure fairness in its hiring process. Another point was clarity. After presenting the case, I was told I hadn’t focused enough on onboarding or explained why the customer was in their current situation. These elements weren’t clearly communicated in the brief, making it hard to meet their expectations fully. The company promotes itself as progressive and values-driven, but the recruitment experience didn’t align with that image. The process felt rigid, overly focused on conformity, and not as inclusive or innovative as I expected. It gave the impression of being more about fitting into their mold than valuing diverse approaches or perspectives. Overall, I think the process could be simplified to reduce the burden on candidates. A little more empathy would go a long way (they don't even offer a single smile)—acknowledging the effort candidates put into preparing and making sure everyone has the same level of information to make it a fair process. Jamf has a strong reputation, but the recruitment experience didn’t fully reflect the progressive values they promote.
