The hiring and interview process consisted of 3 stages: 1) Online application - screening questions and a cover letter with CV. A nice option to add up to a maximum of 5 documents to accompany your application (used for CV, cover letter, references etc). Very quick reply after submission detailing date and time of a subsequent competency telephone interview with Graduate Recruitment. 2) Competency interview lasted 30mins and targeted a broad range of skills, which would be needed to suit the role. Very nice team (interviewed by two people over a conference call) who seemed keen to get the best answers from you. Received an email a few weeks later inviting me to attend an interview in their London office in Canary Wharf. 3) The assessment centre was very well organised from start to finish and consisted of: an Excel test; group activity; and a 20mins interview with the managers requesting interns. I was told the final outcome within the space of 5 working days. Overall a very positive application and interview process. It is always nice to feel valued, certainly at interview, and not just seen as another hopeful to crush with demoralising and intense questioning. The recruitment team and interviewers were all very friendly and encouraging. A great reflection of the company and refreshing to see a professionally relaxed atmosphere in the offices.
