Viva Energy Australia

Extremely quick and easy compared to other companies. No pre-recorded AI analysed interviews or psychometric testing designed to simply slash candidates. Recruitment process involves application submission including a description of how your experience aligns with the role, a phone screening with HR, and one in person assessment centre. The process was extremely fast with offers typically sent out by early-mid May.

First interview was a phone screening so was great to be interviewed by a person and not a AI video interview.

The process went quite quickly; we were not left waiting for long to find out outcomes. The assessments were a mix of technical questions and non technical.

I really enjoyed it. Viva Energy do a great job of making it feel like a positive experience regardless of the outcome. The first interview was by phone and it felt more casual and getting to know each other. The second stage was an in-person technical assessment followed by an interview with two relevant line-managers in your general discipline area. The technical assessment was fair but you have to utilise your time well. The second interview was very friendly and didn't feel like an interrogation. It went for 45-60 minutes. I think I was able to appreciate the experience more because I had done adequate preparation, but I can see how it would feel like a more stressful time without it, but that would be the case in any interview process. The two interviewers were very supportive and happy to elaborate on questions I had and/or share more about their roles and the sort of working environment it would be like. Compared to other interview processes that have 5 or more stages, this was by far the smoothest and pleasant of them with relatively quick feedback on whether you passed to the next step or not.
