The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

So first there's an application and an online test. Then you might have a video interview or go to an assessment centre. Sometimes there's also a technical interview or a manager interview, it just depends on the job and how senior it is. Most of the time it includes a screening, aptitude and behavioural tests, and then final interviews where you have to show what you know with examples and the STAR method.Candidate-reported process
It was a really fast and easy interview. The hiring manager asked about how I talk to customers and deal with tough ones. It wasn't too formal, and I felt pretty chill talking to them.Candidate-reported process
Good recruitment process, nice environment following a sound structure for the day. Required extensive technical knowledge. Similar questions other employers would ask, motivational, skills and technical. Travel costs were covered and reimbursed.Candidate-reported process
