Employee handbook
Our employee handbook provides key information for Titanium Birch employees about who we are, how we work, and our firm’s policies.
We’ve made it public to give others insight into how we operate as a firm. If you’re considering joining us, we hope it offers a glimpse into what it’s like to work here.
Our hiring process
In general:
We respect and value your time.
Our interview process is structured and transparent.
We try to move fast—our process can take as little as one week but shouldn’t take more than a month.
We want to be as fair and clear-sighted as possible. Each team member scores the candidate independently.
Just as we want to get to know you as a person, we want you to get to know us, too.
How we assess candidates
We use a structured approach that helps us hire the best people by digging deep into their career history and getting a clear, honest picture of their strengths.
The scorecard
Every role has a custom scorecard—a structured way to assess candidates based on key competencies, personality, experience, and skills. This ensures fair and objective evaluations.
For each role, the hiring manager:
Creates a scorecard defining the competencies the role requires
Designs a funnel of interviews and skill tests to assess those competencies
The “resume deep dive”
In later stages, we’ll do a career history deep dive—a conversation in which you walk us through your journey from high school to today. This will help us see your growth, motivations, and how you’ll fit into our team.
In-depth reference checks
At the final stage, we conduct in-depth reference checks. With your consent, we speak to previous managers to understand how you’ve performed in past roles.
What to expect as a candidate
Interested in joining us? Here’s what to expect.
Career history form
The first step is our career history form—a key part of our process that helps us get to know you beyond your resume. We know it takes effort, but it ensures a meaningful interview, and we appreciate the time you put into it!
Then, the hiring team uses a scorecard to assess potential fit.

More time together socially as needed. We’ll be an open book. Ask us anything so you can feel confident that joining us would be a great decision for you.
*These casual meetups help you get a feel for the team and culture—no formal assessment, just an opportunity to connect.
Quick responses
Whether or not you’ve moved through to the next round, you should hear back from us within 1 to 3 working days. If we leave you hanging for longer than that, that’s our mistake. Please let us know!
Please give us feedback!
We want every job candidate to have a positive experience. Now and then, we’ll check in to see how you’re feeling about the interview process. We appreciate your candour—it will help us improve!
Open dialogue
Throughout the process, we keep an open dialogue between you and the hiring manager via a shared Google Doc. The Google Doc explains the interview process in detail, contains information about the homework exercise, and provides a platform for discussion between you and the hiring manager.
The interview process is a two-way street—we want you to walk away feeling as excited about us as we are about you.

“We approach problems with a beginner’s mindset, healthy scepticism, and a lot of collaboration. I think that’s very exciting.”
