My interview process consisted of 4 informal interviews:
Approximately 2 weeks after I submitted my application I was pre-screened over the phone by the Internal Recruiter (a pleasant conversation of about 10 minutes) - I was asked to describe my present role and then a few competency based questions.
Four days later I undertook a telephone interview with the Line Manger (another pleasant talk of 15 minutes) - a comprehensive discussion on my background and recruitment practices.
A couple of days later I was invited for a face to face interview and was asked to prepare a presentation on how I would deal with recruiting for a difficult role. I was met by the Manager and another Senior Recruiter. The interview lasted just over an hour, concentrating for the first 30 minutes on the presentation. The interview then moved on to a discussion on my background, skills and experience. I then had the chance to let them know what I would be looking for in my next role, as well as ask numerous questions regarding the company and the client. The interview panel was extremely pleasant and they are certainly people I will enjoy working with.
After a few days I then had the chance to meet with one of the client representatives - the discussion centered around my experience, a few competency based questions and then questions relating to the company.
Overall, I had an extremely pleasant interview process and I really enjoyed the opportunity of meeting everybody.
