I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datapac (Wexford) in Aug 2025
Interview
The process took about 3-4 weeks total. Call with the recruiter, 45 mins interview with two people over teams and one, two hour live programming exercise conducted over teams and two reference checks. Having completed the interviews I received positive feedback and successful reference checks. After about 2 weeks, I received an email from the recruiter asking if i was still interested in the position because they will be "formulating the job offer next week". One week later, I receive an email saying that they have "re-structured" the project and the position is no longer available. Very unprofessional, complete waste of time.

Not your typical interview they have a natural way to interview and take all anxiety away from the person being interviewed. All questions where answered before I could ask them any.

Question 1
Was I happy to start in a workshop before moving on to client calls
Online, using Microsoft Teams. 2 interviewers. I Was asked to attend a follow up interview face to face. When I asked about money they were hesitant to talk about it. Before we got to the second interview I insisted they disclosed the pay rate so as not to waste both mine and their time. The pay rate was very low so I chose to decline the second interview.
