As the seasons change, many of us begin to feel a pull toward something new — a new favorite drink at the local coffee shop, a different hairstyle or even a new job. But with hundreds of open jobs available, figuring out where to start can be pretty daunting.
To make things easier on you, we’ve found six Colorado tech companies who are adding new members to their teams — and we even got a few inside tips to give you an edge in your application.

When interviewing with mission-driven startups like ours, do your homework on the mission, research and evidence that drives our work.

Hiring manager tip: “One question I ask nearly every sales candidate during initial conversation is ‘Tell me your story.' The question is intentionally ambiguous as I want to understand what you feel is important in your history. Make sure you have a good clear story that tells me who you are as a person, what you’ve learned through your career, and why your story makes you a perfect candidate. Sales requires storytelling; make sure your story is a great one.” — Tim Dillon, VP of Sales
