Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at KGS Research.
Programmer Analyst
I was invited to a virtual interview and given a specific time, but no one joined the meeting. After waiting for 30 minutes, I contacted the HR person who set it up. It's been a week and I still haven't heard back from them.
- No one attended the interview at the scheduled time.
Applications Developer
The interview went well. They asked some questions about my previous experience and how I would go about developing a new payroll system. The interviewers were good and explained the process clearly. However, it's difficult to know the application status because they don't send rejection emails if you're not selected.
- Could you provide an overview of your education and experience, and explain how they relate to this role?
- What are your expectations for a new job?
Application Developer
The interview process was really good and seemed easy, but it did take a while. In the end, it's not clear if you'll get a response because they don't reply to emails or phone calls.
- Could you walk us through your education and experience, explaining how they're relevant to this role?
- What are your expectations for a new job?
- Imagine we need a website for employees to log their work hours and for supervisors to approve them. Can you outline how you'd build this website?
