There's a online assessment comprises of situational judgement, logical, numerical reasoning tests, followed by an interview to introduce yourself and key competencies, then its group assessment with a presentation, and a final interview.
This was for the online interview for a business grad role. Standard format as UK online interview formats. You go on their online platform and are given some prep time (forgot the specific times sorry) for each question before you have to answer on video
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question I’d like to point out is: “name and discuss three important environmental or sustainability issues that are affecting us today”
For grads they’re looking for some specific domain knowledge here and it was probably a question that filtered a lot of applicants.
Their hiring process isn't great, as they expect an assessment to be done in a short amount of time. I do not believe it is a true representation of what you could do for the company.
