I applied online. I interviewed at The Openwork Partnership (Swindon, Wiltshire, South West England, England)
Interview
The interview process is a day-long interview process at Openwork's HQ in Swindon. The interview process is broken down into the 3 areas mentioned in the review below. Its a good touch for the company to provide lunch for interviewees though it probably doesn't have enough capacity to train enough individuals given the worsening industry adviser shortage. Manipulating the hiring process to do inside hires for company relatives isn't a good look.

Question 1
The interview assessment day is broken down in sessions covering the below:
Asking individuals to do a presentation about why they are a good fit to be a financial adviser.
Asking individuals to do a group shouting exercise asking 20 or so questions to find the answer to a hypothetical scenario.
Asking individuals to do a timed logic-based exercise suggesting when individuals should seek to request formal financial advice in scenarios similar to R06 exam.
