Process included the initial application and a competency test including Excel, SQL and others. Next step was a Zoom interview with the office recruiter for London where I was promptly shut down when I queried if there would be availability for a more remote focused hybrid position, which the recruiter had been notified about my interest in this both on my application and via a referral. Which gave me the impression that the interviewer did not appear prepared or read my application properly. I did not appreciate the recruiters tone with me during this interview and feel like my time has been wasted. If the hard requirement for in-office working has to be up-kept then my application should have been denied from the get go. I would recommend that Equus be more open to candidates who are looking for more remote and hybrid focused positions.
