First step was a few application questions related to the projects I would carry out, then an online test, then a first virtual interview. At the end of the interview, the interviewer said I'd done incredibly well and to keep a date a week later free for the Assessment Centre. That evening, Ipsos emailed me confirming I was on the shortlist for the Assessment Centre and they just needed to show the hiring team the shortlist before confirming my attendance but I will hear back in 24hours. A week passed and Ipsos completely ghosted me after asking me to keep the Assessment Centre date free, leading to me changing my travel plans. I sent multiple follow up emails and LinkedIn messages to understand what was happening but I never heard back. Extremely poor form from the recruitment team. I don't care about being rejected following an interview, but don't fill me with false hope then leave me hanging.

The team were very clear about what was needed in email correspondence and added helpful pointers to succeed in the interview. It was done online after two previous stages (application and personality tests). Typical interview questions about why you're interested in the role, what your skills are etc. Difficult to remember if I was directly asked about a time I demonstrated a specific skill. It may be the case that you need to incorporate STAR answers more consciously.
