They give a long form to fill with multiple questions. I have 100% exact matching experience required for the role along with the good academic scores they require, yet every single time that I have applied, I have been rejected, not even given a chance to go the next stage to prove my skills. They really need to relook at their interview process as they are just culling out candidates for no reason at all. I also fit all other requirements with respect to background, location etc. Next time don’t post positions you don’t want to hire good candidates for or just reach out personally to candidates on LinkedIn to deem fit, and consider changing the TA/Recruiter team with someone who actually understands which candidates match with the position.

The process was terrible, especially considering it was supposed to be led by a recruiter. They seemed to have no idea how to manage a recruitment process. There was no personal contact, just an email with over 30 questions, followed by feedback on skills that weren’t even mentioned in the job description. Overall, a very poor experience.

It was not a matter of difficulty but the back of candidate engagement

No real people interviewing. You have to do an interview in writing and then a psychometric test before engaging in any conversations. Both stages take at least 2 hours. I don't recommend.

They put a lot of focus on how good were your school grades and where did you go to school.
CV review followed by a written interview, a psychometrics assessment and then in-person interviews. Written interview covered a range of questions, from background-related, through situational, to questions about the wider company and industry. You are given 2 weeks with a possibility of extension in special circumstances.
