I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sage (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Sept 2014
Interview
Standard online application via website followed by some role specific questions.
If successful at this stage applicants receive an e-mail invitation to compete video interview answering pre-set questions via webcam. Applicants can complete practice questions and have ample time to think about answers before recording a response.
After this there is usually telephone confirmation from someone in the recruitment team and an invite to an Assessment day with a number of other potential candidates. During the assessment the group with be split and will complete a role specific competency task (which will be PC based in one of the classrooms with several other) whilst the other members will complete a Face to Face interview with 2 members of management. The Assessment day will take approximately 2 hours.
Applicants will then be given a starting date.
