Colloquio
I applied through a recruiter and my process was complete within a month. My interview process was spread over 4 rounds. The first was a phone screening with a member of the Ops team. The second round, I went for a coffee with one of the Partners who was head of the team I applied for and he asked questions on my exposure in recruitment so far. The third round I had 4 interviews onsite with 2 members at a time. This was a great way to see Durlston Partners come to life and get insights into how the firm operates. Equally the team interviewers were able to hear more about my motivations. For the final round I spoke to a few more members in the team and the CEO of DP. Following this, I gave a presentation discussing more about myself and my case study findings.

The process was very strait forward and is run extremely smoothly by the team at Durlston Partners.
My biggest advice to anyone interviewing or think of it is just be open minded and honest and don’t be sales.
You are made extremely welcome from the offset which makes you feel extremely comfortable and I couldn’t think of anywhere I would rather work more than Durlston Partners I can’t wait to start.

Colloquio
I was contacted via Shannon on LinkedIn,
She told me about the company, the clients and the opportunity and everything that was going on at Durlston. After the call, I was very impressed by the business and was keen to find out more.
The next stage was a follow up conversation with a team lead. I enjoyed this call as it allowed me to get an idea of the company from a recruiters perspective and to also get an idea of the culture.
I was then invited down to meet the team, this was a more formal F2F interview and for me it was a great chance to meet everyone and to get an idea of the people within the business. The team were very friendly, nice and it seemed very different to any other traditional agency.
The final stage was a presentation interview, your given a case study to go away, complete and present to the the team and the CEO - Vax.
The presentations great fun to complete and the case study gives you an insight into the type of clients and roles you would be recruiting, it’s a great opportunity to show how you would “go to market” and resource talent for a specific role.
After the presentation, I had a follow up conversation with Vax. I had prepared some questions to ask him and after meeting the team, presenting and speaking with him I was heavily sold on the business and was hoping to get an offer.
