The hiring process at RTÉ takes an average of 20 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Producer had the quickest hiring process (on average 10 days), whereas Digital Analyst roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 30 days).
Panel was four people which was quite overcrowded given that it was only a 60 minute interview and so not really much time to cover anything of any worth as it applied to the job.
It was straightforward with two interviewers and questions were fair. The interviewers were friendly and seemed interested in my answers. There were no big surprises. I gave examples from the job I was in at the time.
