Interview
Very technical, with case study that i was required to finish in 24hours ! But the interview was nice and the team is amazing. I took my time ans even explained what was considered wrong , they were intrested in the methodology rather than the outcome. Which make yhe process less stressfull
I applied online. I interviewed at IOM (Astana) in Aug 2025
Interview
The recruiter was warm and communicative, clearly outlining the process and timeline.
• Each interviewer came prepared and asked thoughtful questions that felt more like a conversation than an interrogation.
• I appreciated how they gave me space to ask questions and were transparent about the role’s challenges and growth opportunities.
Pro Tip for Future Candidates: Brush up on behavioral questions and be ready to share examples of you’ve handled past situations. I walked away with a great impression of the interviewers. It’s rare to feel energized after an interview, but this one left me smiling
It took about two weeks to hear back from them regarding the interview after I submitted my application. The interview was scheduled a few days later, and it took another few weeks before I was contacted for the reference check.
