Behavioral Technical Presentation

First, there was an initial interview with a recruitment agency for screening. After passing that, I interviewed with a Senior Project Manager who asked about my experience and the scale of projects I've managed, then recommended me to move forward. The next stage involved a case study presentation to a panel of Senior Project Managers and HR executives.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The job posting had all the info and expectations. The HR person was barely involved; the line managers and technical/domain heads made the decisions. It was a thorough process with several steps, which was good because it helped us identify what we might have overlooked before and gave us plenty of chances to show our experience and skills. However, ultimately, it depends on the people you meet on the day.

Confirmed questions1 question
