Why Should You Join Qore Performance®?
BUILDING A SUPERHUMAN FUTURE
Now is the time to find a job you’ll love, doing work that is both fulfilling and important. With restrictions and supplemental unemployment enhancements behind us, the rush is on to grab the best jobs that support freedom, liberty and individual empowerment.
In the inevitable politics of large companies re-establishing hierarchies, will the skills, knowledge, and superior work ethic you’ve developed matter? Will you be just an employee number, subject to layoffs from any disruption like COVID or a real estate debt crisis? Will you have a voice, or just a job. Will you make a difference, or just a paycheck?
Qore Performance® is a small, close-knit, high-output and fast growing company with a vital mission and a great team working hard to fulfill it. Your work at Qore Performance® will have an immediate and positive impact on tens of thousands of people all over the world starting on your first day. Our growing family of products use simple but novel thermoregulation and hydration technologies to increase work capacity and safety of first responders, technicians operating in PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), military personnel, pilots, athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. In just a few short years, our commercial customers have worked over 5,000,000 hours without a single minute lost to a heat injury, preventing thousands of hospitalizations while saving hundreds of millions of dollars in health care costs and lost productivity. With average temperatures continually on the rise around the world, weaponizing temperature to enhance performance and survivability has never been more important. Helping individuals and GDP at the same time, on multiple levels, is more vital than at anytime in the history of our great country.
As an "Essential Critical Infrastructure" company offering products that are vital to incident response, we were not shut down during the COVID crisis. We attacked opportunity, grew rapidly, and thrived. Our "freedom first" idea meritocracy uniquely positioned our team to quickly seize numerous opportunities as they arose in 2020, 2021, and now 2022.
Now we’re looking for more A-Players to join us in Building A Superhuman Future. Help us meet the dramatically increasing demand for our products as we liberate people from the constraints of their environment and help them become the greatest version of themselves.
If this sounds as exciting to you as it is to us, we want to hear from you!

Our hiring process
First, you must actually apply for a specific job and follow the instructions on this page. We will not respond to inquiries "asking for additional information" because this page has all of the pertinent details about every position already on it. If the information isn't on this page, that means it will be disclosed later in the process at the appropriate time. This is the first step in our recruiting process that we don't list below: we are evaluating your ability to conduct primary source research, follow-directions, be thorough, and take action.
We use a five-step interview process to evaluate candidates and give candidates an opportunity to evaluate us. Our goal is to set all of our team members up for success from the first moment they make contact with us, but our hiring process is stringent and extremely thorough. It is not easy. You will have a chance to ask any questions you want at the end of each interview step. Here are the steps:
- Preliminary Questions - if you meet the minimum requirements, we'll send these questions to you via email within one week of receipt of your application. Questions are short and usually directed at specific points where we are looking for clarification. Responses here determine if a candidate is invited to a Screening. If you do not hear from us within 30 days of submitting your application, you were not selected for a Screening Interview.
- Screening Interview - this interview is roughly 10-15 minutes and is conducted over the phone. It is an opportunity for us to get to know the basics about each candidate. If you pass the Screening interview, you will advance to the next round.
- Personal Interview - this is an in-person interview at our office in Sterling, VA. It is a chance for us to get to know you at a deeper level.
- Skills Assessment - for technical positions, this interview is used to assess your actual skillset using a practical exercise. The work done during this exercise is a simulation and is never used commercially or made live to an audience, but it does deal with real elements from our company for proper and complete context. This is a paid interview and you will receive cash compensation.
- Reference Interview - just like it sounds, this interview is all about your work history and references. The Reference Interview includes a detailed background check that includes credit history. It is done in person for local candidates and via VTC for out of area candidates.
Getting an offer from us is difficult. Only the absolute best candidates will advance through all five stages. If you get an offer from us, you are an exceptional talent (and we don't mean GPA - we couldn't care less what your GPA was), so congratulations!
