The interview process was split into 2 parts. The first was a 15 minute one. The instructions explained you didn’t need to prepare anything in advance. The second would be longer and take place only 24 hours after the first. The 15 minute interview was made up of three questions. One of which was to give feedback on the meetings (run by the charity) you were to have attended in advance of the interview. I was informed of the interview on a Tuesday evening and the bookable slots be were for the following Monday. This left me Wednesday , Thursday and Friday to find the time for a MINIMUM! of 4 one hour meetings (this was written in the advert) Those days fell during half term and I was already juggling childcare and work. Unable to attend the even one meetings I contacted two friends who I was aware had attended the meetings to understand what they were like incase I was asked. During my interview when asked if I had personally attended any meetings I was honest and said no but gave my answer based on the research I’d done from actual attendees. It was clear that having not attended myself would mean I wasn’t going to progress any further. With a better timeline for interviews it would have been a more inclusive process to those with responsibilities. Small charities often don’t have HR leads but I would still expect more awareness of how asking a person to find at least 4 hours of time in 3 days at shorts notice is unrealistic. I wonder how many people also didn’t progress for the same reason? Such a shame as the organisation otherwise seems really great
