United KingdomPosted Mar 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first real hurdle was an online recorded interview, and it put me at ease right away because once I was given the question I had time to think.

I had an open window to prepare my response, and then recording started with a hard stop that automatically cut me off after about a few minutes.

The questions themselves were fairly direct and focused on motivation and goals—why I wanted to work for the organisation, what I wanted to learn, and what I wanted to achieve. There was also a behavioural and situational judgement assessment element alongside the recorded video responses, and overall it felt pretty straightforward.

One part did throw me off: when I did another online interview round with a time pressure, the frame felt too short
