I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TecEx (Johannesburg)
Interview
Interviewer wasn’t as friendly as the company portray their culture to be. I felt the interview wasn’t balanced and I wasn’t given time to respond appropriately. I was rejected about 30 minutes after the interview with a generic email and no constructive feedback.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TecEx (Johannesburg) in Feb 2023
Interview
You apply online through their website & then you get a spark hire one way interview. If they are happy with that, you will be contacted for a second interview with 2 recruitment members (one is an industrial psychologist) & after that, you might get an interview with the relevant manager to see if you fit the role and will be able to work in that setting. The second interview is very chilled- they try to make you as at ease as possible. They will, however, avoid questions regarding their high staff turnover as well as any questions regarding growth within the company. They will use company culture as the main selling point & will explain that because the company is growing and expanding, there is potential for growth. They also don’t disclose what the current market salary is for the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were a crayon, what colour would it be and why? Tell me about your family life & hobbies? Why did you study what you studied? What makes you wake up in the morning? What is non-negotiable in the workplace for you? What do you know about the company? What is your notice period? What is a time in your life when you overcame obstacles? How do you function under stress? What is your work experience? What is your salary expectation? What is your current salary? What benefits do you get from your current employer?
