Digital Transformation Agency

The interview process was relatively technical, rigorous and quite opaque. It was not run by the DTA, it was run by the ABS. I was a data graduate which meant I was first vetted based on my qualifications (which were tested in interviews), and then once that was proven I was sorted based on my preferences and those of agencies.

It was a long process. I think I remember applying for general graduate programs early in the year of 2023, and I didn't hear back from the DTA until late November.

I came into contact with the DTA through a Merit-List graduate program run by a separate agency. Once I received contact from the DTA, the overall interview process was fairly straightforward, and they kept in contact with me once I had accepted the offer.

For me I had a great time with the recruitment process and was one of the easier hiring processes for me. I remember applying through APSC and being interviewed by them. They were very supportive and assisted in redirecting my answers if I misinterpreted a question or took time to answer. I didnt do any other assessments from memory, and then I was offered the position by DTA.

Note: I did all interviews and assessments through a broader government program so I cannot comment on this. My rating is based on the small part of the recruitment process I actually experienced through my workplace.
