1. Group Assessment Day
The interview process started with a group assessment day, which was well-organized and engaging. The day kicked off with introductions, giving candidates a chance to meet each other and some of the assessors. This was a great way to ease into the process and helped set a collaborative tone for the day.
2. Technical Task (8/10)
The technical task was challenging but manageable if you’re comfortable with problem-solving under pressure. We were given a scenario that mimicked a real-life Hawk-Eye system issue, where we had to analyze video data, make quick decisions, and troubleshoot as if we were in a live event setting. The assessors monitored us closely and were clearly looking for attention to detail and the ability to stay calm while analyzing tracking data.
3. Individual Interviews (9/10)
After the task, each candidate went through a series of interviews with team members from different departments. This part felt thorough, with questions ranging from technical knowledge to teamwork and problem-solving skills. Interviewers focused on practical experience, asking for examples of when we managed technical challenges under pressure and how we communicated in high-stress environments. They were also very transparent about the job expectations.
4. Presentation (10/10)
The final part of the day involved a presentation on a new sports technology project. We were each asked to present our ideas for implementing or improving a specific aspect of sports tech. This part of the assessment seemed aimed at gauging our creativity, understanding of sports technology, and presentation skills.
Overall
The interview day was well-structured and gave a genuine insight into the skills Hawk-Eye values. The whole process took most of the day, so be prepared for a comprehensive assessment. If you’re detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and passionate about sports tech, this is a great opportunity!
