First stage = 45 minute chat with HR (general experience questions and HR) 2nd stage = 1 hour with recruiter (general experience, selling the role to me) 3rd stage = 1 hour with manager (2 questions around their 14 Leadership Principles) 4th stage = 4/5 hours of interviews with 3 recruiters & 1 hiring manager (2 leadership principle questions per interview with one or two questions about Boolean searching). The whole process took around 6 weeks from the moment the recruiter reached out to me. The people during the process seemed like they enjoyed their jobs and I got the impression the team would be nice to work with. The work they do seems interesting and quite varied from person to person. However, the questions were very repetitive and didn't allow the interviewee to show off their actual skills. Most interviewers mention that you need to answer in STAR format and then explain it you as if you've never heard of it. You can prep your answers a lot in advance if you want because the questions are very similar to what they send you in prep/what you can find online. The process was very centred around KPIs and volume hires and you'll be asked about previous KPIs and Hires in every interview. You'll also be asked your salary expectations in at least 3 interviews. There weren't really any questions about understanding your domain knowledge (e.g. proving you know about software development) or about your sourcing methods and skills. They focus so heavily on very specific questions about their Leadership Principles that it can take away focus from the individuals experience and you can end up talking about quite irrelevant topics. For quite a lot of the interviews it felt like each question for just off of a checklist with no rapport going on. The experience was okay but there's quite a few negatives to point out in terms of candidate experience 1) It took a long time 2) There was absolutely no feedback between stages so you feel like you're in limbo every week until they book you in randomly for another 3) They asked your salary expectations at every stage but wouldn't shed a light on what they're offering 4) They hadn't looked at my CV properly in advance of interviews and kept mentioning places I'd worked at years before, thinking that I was still there 5) One interviewer was rude and made me feel like I was somehow in trouble (quite old fashioned interview style) 6) There was no feedback upon being rejected (2 weeks after my final interview) 7) I had to chase 3 different people for that news. If someone had spent 9 hours interviewing for my company, I'd at least give them some helpful feedback or explanation about the results. Overall, they could make the experience a lot more compact and would benefit from more communication internally between interviews. I wasn't disappointed at all with the news purely due to the candidate experience that I had.
