Awfis

1. Online application

Candidates typically apply through Jobaaj or Awfis' careers page for operations, sales, community or business roles, based on relevant experience and location preference. The application is usually reviewed against the specific city and centre the role is opening for.

2. Recruiter screening call

A short call typically covers background, communication skills and understanding of the co-working business model, along with availability and location fit. Recruiters also gauge comfort with a target-driven, member-facing work environment at this stage.

3. Functional interview with the hiring manager

A hiring manager typically evaluates role-specific skills, such as client handling for sales roles or space management for operations roles, along with problem-solving ability. Candidates may be asked to walk through how they would manage a specific member or facility scenario.

4. Interview with senior management

For mid-level or city-lead roles, a further discussion assesses ownership, target orientation and readiness to manage a workspace or portfolio independently. This round often explores how a candidate would grow occupancy and revenue for an assigned location.

5. HR discussion and offer

The final stage covers compensation, incentive structure and joining formalities, along with background verification before an offer letter is issued. Candidates are also briefed on reporting location and expected working hours.

6. Onboarding

Once the offer is accepted, new joiners typically go through induction covering the company's centres, systems and member service standards before taking up their assigned role.

Awfis' hiring process typically has three to four stages, with an additional leadership round for city-lead or senior sales positions.
