Technical Behavioral
The process was quite effective: a week after applying, they contacted me for a call with HR. Two weeks later, they contacted me for a technical test (on GHG accounting), and two weeks after that, they contacted me again for an interview with the line manager and the country director. The HR contact was very friendly, as were the team members in the interview. The test was challenging but completable within the 2 hours they provided.
Confirmed questions1 question
