Interview Details – I had one interview, which was a telephone interview.

Interview Details – Couple of steps: paper based app; phone call with HR; online assessments; follow up first stage face to face interview with HR; then final interview with HR and hiring manager, including presentation.

Interview Details – You apply for the position through a recruitment agency which call you to run through a few basic things such as right to work etc. From there you go for a one on one interview in which you fill out an application form with all of your available details as it is a temping agency. From there you are taken to a room in which you do a few basic numerical tests, dyslexia tests, colour blind tests etc and are asked about you availability in relation to hours.

You then are give a computer and are shown how to preform a number of steps in the assembly of the computer, you then have to repeat the afore mentioned steps in under 5 minutes. You have some cards with detailed instruction of what you have to do if you can not remember all the steps.

Interview Details – The 1st stage of the application was to submit a CV with some answers to basic competency questions. After this psychometric testing was done online and once passed these initial rounds it was the 1st face to face interview.

Day 1
The hiring manager was very nice and made the whole experience very informal and I did quite well, managing to answer all the questions and I felt confident throughout. Typical competency questions were asked like: ''Explain a time you had to lead a group project and what was the result?''

After this interview I had to sit the same psychometric test again to prove that it was actually me who did the 1st one.

Day 2
After my 1st day I was invited back to the last round of the process which consisted of the following:

Group exercise was we had to pretend that we were a council commit and debate about how so spend council money from the limited choices we had.

A management test which consisted of cards with missing information on it and using the surrounding information you had to fill in the blanks i.e. spot the patterns I found it quite straight forward but others found it quite complex.

A final interview with the same manager but this time with a senior HR partner.

Feedback:

While I performed well in the whole recruitment process when asked about various questions on the job I didn’t answer what they wanted. Basically they thought I would be more of a specialist than they thought initially.

I was quite annoyed that it took them the final round before they realised that I was not suitable for the job but at least they were honest and didn’t recite typical HR talk.

I thought the whole process was handled very well with good communication throughout.
