I applied online. I interviewed at Octavia (London, England) in Dec 2020
Interview
Position advertised for six days.
Stage one of a two stage interview process scheduled with just over half a day’s notice.
In addition interviews scheduled before expiry of job advert.
Entire process was not in keeping with public sector best practice recruitment. Felt like a process designed to give the appearance of equal opportunity.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Octavia (London, England) in Oct 2021
Interview
Multi-stage interview process with management team reps, the CEO and finally the Chair showed great investment from Octavia in getting the recruitment right. I was really impressed that they offered me a second go at the initial interview when my wifi went down, acknowledging the issues of doing recruitment via the internet.
