I had an initial round using HireVue where they asked me behavioral questions, like what about my experience makes me a good fit for the role, to introduce myself, and to give an example of a time I proposed an innovative idea that had tangible results.

I had a call from the HR Manager, and we had an initial phone interview - this was skills based to check compatibility. I then went to the offices to meet with the Line Manager for an interview with her and the HR Manager - this was also skills based but also to check I was the right person to fit into the team. It was good to go into the office, gave a sense of what the company was like. The next interview was with the HR Director and the Line Manager - again in the office. This was an hour and was very much around how I would handle different scenarios and if I would be a good fit for the team. The final interview was with the CFO and it was to check that I was the right person to fit into the company. The whole process took almost 4 months - then I was offered the role.
