I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at QBE (London, England) in Jul 2019
Interview
spoke to recruiter and got offered the interview. was a competency based interview with two senior underwriters. the interview took approximately 35mins and the panel were very lovely people. wrote a follow up email but ended up not hearing back.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at QBE in May 2017
Interview
Friendly and relaxed interview with a team leader and senior underwriter. Straight-forward competency questions asked with a general overview of CV and relevant experience. No further interview or testing after initial interview.
Awful experience to be honest. I had two miserable women interviewing me and they were just dull/ bland people. I think it shows they clearly both hated their jobs. The Recruitment Resourcer sent an email over to me containing another person's details, great start to begin with. This gave me a chance to look at the the other candidates LinkedIn profile which displayed; lack of qualifications, irrelevant experience etc
I'm appalled by the fact this was clearly a poor attempt at a HR quota filling exercise. To the middle-aged lady interviewing me, try staying in your job to get your pension. You won't get a job anywhere else....
