We don't just want a CV, pretty portfolio and a juicy cover letter. We want to know how you actually think and work. This is 15 questions across three sections — each one based on something real we do at HLabs. Score yourself honestly. There are no right answers, only honest ones.
How we work — speed, platforms, content, engagement, capacity
Innovation, presenting, marketing vision, team building, new business
Solutions-first, confidence, trust, kindness, collaboration
You'll be working across Condé Nast, Hilton Grand Vacations, Hearst, Schmidt Foundation, Haworth, Red Bull and others. These aren't vanity logos — they're long-term relationships built on trust and creative ambition.
We're 20+ people. There's no holding company above us, no creative committee to pass through, no brand police. When you have a strong idea, you can move fast.
HLabs is ahead of most studios on AI integration. The next CD will help shape how we use AI creatively and commercially, and how we roll out safely across the creative team. This isn't a studio catching up — it's one building ahead. We built this application, just for you, to fix the bad experience most people get during applications!
If you want a large team, huge budgets, and the safety of always having a well-defined brief — this isn't the right place. HLabs is fast, ambitious, but sometimes simply a scrappy startup that needs inventiveness and fresh ideas. The people who love it here are ready to challenge the idea of a 'normal agency' and make new things that clients can't wait to try!
This takes 30 seconds. Your details will be sent with your answers to the HLabs team.
