Submission of resume and cover letter. Shortlisting occured, and then interview through a panel about three weeks later, Reference and background checks followed by offer with a follow up letter.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Transport for NSW (Sydney) in Feb 2022
Interview
It was first via a 3rd party recruiter, and then with hiring managers. They needed someone fairly quickly and the offer came quicker than I expected but unfortunately they were unable to guarantee WFH days before I would start, and the location was different (much farther for me) to what the 3rd party recruiter initially advised so, unable to commit to 5 days/wk at the far loctaion, I had to turn the offer down.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Transport for NSW (Sydney) in Nov 2021
Interview
Sensible round of questions and warm interviewers who put you at ease. Have HR included in panel. Direct managers had interesting questions that were practical. They were more than 3 managers and one HR.
