Jones Knowles Ritchie Interview Questions

It's a phone interview with the HR. She would ask you some basic questions about your education and your work experience and your portfolio. Like why you leave your last job? What do you think you can bring to JKR's local market?

I was looking forward to the interview until the day I arrived and saw they had invited at least 20 or more other candidates to the same 'group interview' day. I don't know how they could get a feel for anyone's individual personality having so many people in for an assessment day, and naturally the extroverts are grabbing for attention in all the presentation tasks which was what the entire day seemed to consist of.

There was a two stage interview process, both were in person at the office. In both interviews, the interviewers were welcoming and created a relaxed environment. I got a good sense of the agency personality.

Fast-paced, very nice and smooth process, we had 3 rounds of interviews though to figure out that there is a disagreement within the management about the type/caliber of the person they want to hire.

Very relaxed. They made me feel extremely calm despite being nervous beforehand. They made sure to listen to everything I had to say and always spoke in a positive way.

The interviewers were really friendly. They made the effort to make you feel comfortable. It was really a good company. They didnt try to put me in a spot.

Applied online (via LinkedIn). Part of the application was submitting a video describing a brand that I found charismatic, along with a cover letter and resume. I didn't hear back for a few weeks, but eventually was contacted for a phone interview, which was mostly behavioral/fit – pretty standard questions. A few days after that, I received the official offer.

One on one interview with Strategy Director. Informal, friendly and he showed a real interest in my experience and skills. I ran him through a quick presentation of my strategic philosophy and past projects I've worked on which he really liked. The interview was a two-way process; he was keen to explain what JKR are about and how they are seen in the industry. Ultimately they were looking for someone with different kind of experience to mine, so I didn't progress to the next stage which would have been preparing a presentation to a couple more senior members of the team.
