I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Rosyth, Scotland) in Jan 2019
Interview
Applied through a recruitment agency (Advantage Resourcing) and the process to interview took 3 weeks. Interview was relatively informal with two interviewers (the PM and an APM) both explaining the role then asking questions about my experience and why I wanted the role. Interview lasted about 50 mins and was pretty straight forward. The disappointing thing was I they didn't have the decency to let me know either way whether I got the job or not, I contacted the recruitment agency who said they would chase up, but I got nothing back from them either. Unprofessional of both BAE Systems and Advantage Resourcing.
