This was a two part interview. The first part was a formal panel session with the hiring manager and their line manager. The second was an informal, values-led conversation with two potential colleagues.

Question 1
What made you want to apply for this role and Hospice UK?
Application form, where you need to write 2 pages on why you're a fit for the role. At the interview stage it's a 20 minute assessment, followed by a 45 minute interview, and a 15 minute chat with a few other people in the organisation. This chat is your opportunity to ask questions regarding the culture at Hospice UK. Not sure why, I think it should be the other way around. It should be an opportunity for them assess if the candidate is really a good culture fit for Hospice UK.
Given the time taken to fill in the application form, and prepare and attend the interview, a rejection call, or at the very least a rejection email, shouldn't be too hard an ask. Despite following up with a voicemail and an email, I received no reply regarding the outcome of the interview. How hard can it be to copy and paste a generic rejection email and hit send? Rude and unprofessional.
