Steadfast Group

After applying online with my CV, I was asked to submit a video interview which was easy to complete. I was then called for a second interview, which took place on zoom, with my current boss. After that, I was offered the internship and began discussing flexible working times.

The interview process included a 5-minute video interview, followed by the first in-person interview by previous graduates. This was then followed by an interview with the HR team, including the Head of People & Culture, and an assessment. The final interview was with the CEO.

The recruitment and interview process was pretty straight forward. I didn't like the initial recorded interview, I think it didn't play to my strengths and was overall just a bit awkward as I wasn't speaking to a real person. Maybe a zoom interview would have been better. I also believe some social events / assessments could have been good. I found the interview questions between round 2 & 3 were similar so I provided very similar responses. The final round with Rob was fun. However, I was so unsure if I had the job or not, as it wouldn't make sense to meet him if I didn't have it, but also I was never told if the final round was make or break for the job. I had a fair certainty that I had it but I was also pretty confused if I was not going to receive and offer.

Quick, personal, flexible and friendly. When arranging times to be interviews they worked around my schedule.

I really appreciate the face to face element in the interview process. The HR team make you feel very welcome and comfortable. The only downside is the video interviews as it is quite daunting and makes me nervous to where I cannot properly conduct myself in the way I usually do. It is also weird speaking to a laptop.
