   Step 2
   Screening & Shortlisting

   Our core team reviews every application with equal attention. We look for:

   • Strong academic and clinical research background.
   • Evidence of prior publications (PubMed / Scopus / Web of Science indexed preferred).
   • Experience with high-impact or specialty journals (impact factor ≥ 5 is a plus).
   • Technical depth in relevant tools (R, Stata, SPSS, Python, reference managers, design tools, etc.).

   Shortlisted applicants are contacted via email with next-step details and proposed interview slots.

   Step 3
   Conversation & Role-Specific Task

   Selected candidates are invited for a virtual discussion with one or more members of our leadership and division-specific teams. This is followed by a brief, role-aligned task, for example:

   • Editing or restructuring a short manuscript passage.
   • Running and interpreting a small statistical analysis.
   • Reviewing a study protocol or mock IRB synopsis.
   • Designing a one-slide visual or mini-poster.

   The goal is not just to “test” but to understand how you think, communicate, and approach real projects.

   Step 4
   Offer, Onboarding & First Projects

   Candidates who align with our values, quality benchmarks, and workload requirements receive a formal offer (freelance, part-time, or full-time, depending on discussion).

   Once you accept the offer, we will:

   • Share an onboarding pack, NDAs, and our ethical use guidelines.
   • Create your access to the Thesis Helpline™ Client & Expert Portal.
   • Introduce you to your division (Research & Academic Services, Design & Communication, Technology, Client Operations, or Growth & Strategy).
   • Begin with supervised projects and gradual responsibility scaling as you settle into the workflow.

   Our aim is to integrate you into a collaborative, research-obsessed, ethics-first team—not just assign isolated tasks.
