How We Hire

Research Baird, review the job description and reflect on how your experience aligns. Be ready to share examples of your accomplishments and ask thoughtful questions. Interviews are a two-way conversation–this is your chance to learn if Baird is the right fit for you, too. Most importantly, be yourself and let your strengths shine.

Baird conducts both in-person and virtual interviews, depending on the role and location. Initial interviews are often virtual to offer flexibility, while later stages may be in-person. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way so you know what to expect.

Absolutely. If you need an accommodation to view or apply for a position–or for any part of the hiring process–we’re here to help. Please call 866-837-3914 or email [email protected] so we can support you. Your experience matters to us.

We support using AI tools to help you prepare, but please don’t use AI-generated responses during interviews or assessments. We value authenticity and want to hear your own ideas. This ensures a fair process for everyone. Failure to comply may result in disqualification.

The hiring timeline can vary by position. It may take time for recruiters and hiring managers to meet all candidates and make a thoughtful decision. Patience is key. If you're considering other opportunities, feel free to let your recruiter know–we’ll move as quickly as we can and keep you updated along the way.

You’ll receive updates from your recruiter at key stages–sometimes by phone, sometimes by email. Our goal is to keep you informed throughout the process. If you’re not selected, you’ll remain in our Talent Community and may be considered for future opportunities. We appreciate your interest in Baird and hope to stay connected!
