I was approached through a headhunter and initially interviewed by the internal recruitment team, which was a polite, frank and honest conversation. Following this, I sat two psychometric tests and I had four meetings (two interviews and two conversations). Throughout the process, I found the team to be professional but not tied down by an overly prescriptive process. The first two interviews were held on the same day and consisted of a competence based interview and a separate presentation about a piece of previous work. The second stage consisted of a meeting with the head of the service that I would be joining and the lead board member for that area. The experience in both of these sessions was overwhelmingly positive.
