I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Northern Trains (Sheffield, England)
Interview
Applied for temp position via Search. Interview was a 10 min call with a manager, going over basic employment history and relevant work experience. Had a call from Search shortly after with offer.
After initial screening they gave me dataset on northern trains and its performance related metrics, My task was to make a dashboard on given questions and present it in final interview.
Interview was quite easy and interviewers were very friendly.
last round was with head of department, only telephonic interview(in my case they selected top three and wanted to narrow down to one so they scheduled behavioural call with the head)
overall experience and process was positive and quick
