My first interview with Reed in Partnership was welcoming, professional and competency-based, focusing on my understanding of the Employment Adviser role, motivation for applying, and examples demonstrating resilience, empathy and target-driven experience.

Had a phone interview two weeks ago. Never heard back from them although I sent an email asking about updates on the interview. It was the first part of the interview process as there is a second interview as they said. The recruiter was polite and it was about 45 minutes. There was a scenario where I had to say what I would do in this case. Questions about the organisation and the project, other questions about my motivation, about my cv, about their values and two questions where required the STAR method to reply.

Phone interview leading to in person competency questions and a role play. The phone interview was led by the recruitment team and the in person was led by a business manager and another member of staff.
