The process included an initial phone screen with a recruiter, followed by two video interviews. I was then invited to a three-stage assessment involving a PowerPoint presentation, a CV review, and several competency-based questions. While I appreciated the opportunity to engage with the team and demonstrate my experience, I found the lack of feedback—despite the time and effort invested—very discouraging. This was particularly surprising given the organisation’s stated values around caring for people, supporting potential, inclusivity, collaboration, and honesty. I hope future candidates receive more transparent communication to reflect those values in practice.
