Interview
The interview process begins with application review and initial screenings to assess basic qualifications.
Next, candidates may undergo skills assessments or technical tests relevant to the role.
First interviews focus on behavioral or technical questions to gauge experience and fit.
Panel or second-round interviews involve multiple team members for deeper evaluation.
Final interviews often include senior management and discussions on offer details.
Successful candidates go through reference checks, leading to a job offer and onboarding.
Hi there, thanks so for sharing your positive interview experience with us, we love that!
It's also super useful for other potential candidates to hear about your experience and what it involved so thank you for sharing.
12+ weeks does sound way too long for our usual standards though so we'll look into that to see if it was a delay that could have been prevented.

Online screening test (the usual maths/English/reasoning). After this, there was a phone call interview, which was like a mini-interview. After this there was an assessment day, which consisted of interviews, presentation of prepared work and a group task - the group task is very relaxed and quite good fun)
