I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Randstad (London, England) in Jun 2021
Interview
Had a first initial call with Lauren Jenkins and then a video interview. Lauren was really professional and great to speak with. She clearly went through the opportunities in detail and discussed what she thought would be suited to myself.
I then had a video interview with the hiring manager which was in depth and the interview was well structured. I was then invited to a final stage face to face interview where I met some of the team and spoke with the Director.
The whole process overall was a really good experience. I was kept in touch with throughout and the offer was clearly explained. Couldn't fault it!
