Research shows that women and people from under-represented groups often apply to jobs ONLY IF they meet all of the qualifications. However, no one ever meets 100% of the qualifications, nor should they. A2 Hosting focuses on hiring people, not just skill sets, and encourages you to apply, even without meeting every qualification. We look forward to your application.
