I applied online. I interviewed at Bachcare (Auckland, Auckland)
Interview
The interview process at Bachcare was very relaxed and welcoming. The interviewers did their best to make me feel comfortable while getting to know me better, both professionally and personally. They asked about my hobbies, the type of music I like listening to, and questions about my personality and work style. It felt more like a genuine conversation rather than a stressful interview, which helped me feel confident and open during the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me how I handle pressure in fast-paced situations and how I stay organised when managing multiple tasks at once.
Zoom call online was simple and easy. Team was nice and was good to learn about the role. The interviewer was kind and informative I enjoyed the process. Zoom calls are more convenient for everyone involved
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bachcare (Auckland, Auckland)
Interview
Interview Process was easy but time consuming.
Step 1. 1-1 with CTO (It was positive) (30mins)
Step 2. Interview with CTO and lead devs (They were impressed) (1-1.5 hrs)
Step 3. Technical test (Absolutely it was good) (~3 hrs)
Step 4. Inductive Reasoning - h2r online test (30mins)
Step 5. OPQ Personality Profile - h2r online test (30mins)
Step 6. Verbal Reasoning - h2r online test (20mins)
Step 7. Review your answer with h2r staff (45mins-1hr)
I must say they were so impressed by my technical skills.
Step 4, 5 and 6 was h2r test and those h2r online test is crap. It do not work on my updated chrome, have to use Edge or safari. I have to create new account each time with different email. I got 4-5 calls and couple of emails from h2r to fix those broken test.
I spent around ~8-9 hours for this process and finally HR guessed "I keep my issues with me, I do not share with others" from OPQ Personality Profile test.
Really disappointing thing is, they did not judge me on my 1-1, or interview with leads or Technical test. HR judged me on broken h2r test, that test do not have right answer, you just need to priorities the options. I never met HR.
