Varies depending on manager. The manager can choose the process for interviews, but should be consistent with the process chosen for every candidate seen. Can be competency and skills based questions, demonstrating level and breadth of experience and determining fit to business.
Was for a placement, interview was quite long winded and meant a number of stages including group task, group interview and then a one to oneinterview. Overall it meant quite a long day and the task was exceptionally hard.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ginsters (Wakefield, England) in May 2014
Interview
Online application, interview, then unpaid day out on the van shadowing someone doing the job seeing if you like it the. Job offer after day if you impressed person you worked with
