First step is an application form and online tests. Next you do a video interview. The third stage is an assessment center and then the final stage is an interview. Prior to the assessment center, I had a call with the recruitment team to understand the layout of the day. During the assessment center, all the assessors were friendly and made you feel at ease.

The interview process was a bit different to usual years because of restrictions provided by COVID. It felt like a very long process. Everyone is asked to give their CV, complete some situation judgement tests and if you pass those then you're straight on to the video interview. 4 questions where you have to record your answer within a minute. This was fairly straight forward and like other video interviews. From there it felt like forever before they chose the applicants for assessment centre. I was one of 7 and it was done virtually via Microsoft teams which was interesting. 2 tasks, one written and then an interactive exercise - plan and then participate in a one-on-one meeting with your line manager. Finally a competency interview. It was an extremely long day and they got you to fill out self-reflection forms after each exercise. This felt very bizarre and often had extra questions about you and your process.
