I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DS Smith (Brussels)
Interview
Very pleasant. I had two interviews, one with HR and one with the line manager of the position. They prioritised making me feel comfortable and getting to know my personality as well as my skills.

Question 1
They asked why I wanted to move away from a people management role
Started with a recruiter/HR interview that was a pretty standard initial screening, then went to line manage interview which went more in detail but still not too technical. The next two interviews were with a senior manager and with another senior stakeholder on the team, both felt more like personality/culture fit interviews than technical.
