The Installer
Challenge
Twelve levels. Mostly tapping. Zero lifting (the lifting comes later). We're not interested in a résumé that says "hard-working team player with a passion for synergy". We want to see what you'd actually do when a door's hanging off one cable and the customer's filming you.
We don't hire résumés.
We hire fixerers.
About half the people who start this won't finish it. That's kind of the point.
~10 minutes · works on your phone · no cover letter · your answers save as you go
The boring bit, quickly.
We only need enough to get back to you. We promise not to ring you at 5am. Probably.
We use it a lot here. You don't have to love it yet. You do have to be willing.
First job. The spring's snapped on a double panel door. It weighs about as much as a fridge full of bricks.
The customer says "just lift it, mate, I'm late for work". What do you do first?
Five things are wrong with this job card.
Tap the bits that are wrong. Tap again to un-tap. Useful facts: our number is (07) 4615 4481, and we work Monday to Thursday plus a half-day Friday.
Tapped: 0 of 5
One ute, four jobs, one of you. Put them in order.
Move them with the arrows. First job at the top.
What makes your blood boil on a job?
Pick up to two, then tell us the real one.
It's half-day Friday. You're ten minutes from knock-off and you can already taste the sausage roll.
The office rings. An elderly lady in Highfields has a roller door stuck half open. House is wide open. Nobody else is closer than you. First move?
Score your own hands out of ten.
Ten means you could fix a space shuttle with a shifter. One means you call your dad to hang a picture.
Tell us about a mistake that was yours.
Everyone's drilled through something they shouldn't have. We're interested in what you did next.
Six things. Do you moan about it, or move on it?
Quick. First instinct, not the right answer.
It's 3:50pm. Last job's done. You run the door and it scrapes, just a touch, on one side.
Customer hasn't noticed. Nobody would.
Name a rule at a job you've had that made no sense.
We change how we do things here fairly often. This level tells us whether you'll help or just sigh loudly.
Meet Alfie. He's our dog. He's on the sign out the front, holding a drill he is not licensed to use.
He's your offsider for the day.
Last one. We'd rather see you than read you.
Twenty seconds on your phone. One take, no script — who you are and why this job. Hi-vis optional.
Rough is fine. We're not marking the lighting.
Your video comes straight to us and nobody else ever sees it.
You have to set it so anyone with the link can view. If you don't, all we get is a locked screen and we can't watch you — so uploading above really is the easier road.
There's no wrong answer here. A blank one tells us plenty though.
You finished.
About half the people who start this don't. We'll read every answer properly — a real person, not a filter — and you'll hear back either way.
