Online Assessment

Our online assessments give us a great understanding of your inductive reasoning abilities – more specifically your learning agility and ability to problem solve. They allow us to assess for cultural fit as well as psychometric, cognitive, behavioural and/or technical skills. Not all assessments will encompass the same requirements and are dependent on the role and area you are applying to.

These assessments are through a third-party provider and will be sent to directly via email. The best way to prepare is to set yourself up in a nice quiet space with no distractions and reach out to our team if you have any further questions.   

Video Interview

A video interview provides us with the chance to get to know you, your skills, knowledge and experience. The benefit is you get to do it from the comfort of your own home or anywhere that you feel at ease.

Prior to doing your video interview we recommend having a read through the below.

1. Check your tech!

You can complete your video interview at home or anywhere that you feel comfortable using your phone or computer. It is important that you pick a location that is quiet with no distractions so that you can focus on the interview. You will get the chance to do a practice - make sure your audio is clear, your camera is working and think about what’s in the background.

2. Follow the STAR technique

When answering the question use the STAR technique which can help you provide a thorough yet concise answer without getting side tracked. Describe the SITUATION and TASK in which the event took place, explain the ACTION that you took and finally, outline the RESULTS of your actions. Keep in mind that each question only allows a maximum answer length of two minutes.

3. Take your time

Take a moment to calm your nerves, gather your thoughts and think of the most relevant answer then hit record. Use the prep time to follow the STAR technique to construct you answer, you’ll only get one shot to record your answer.

4. Be yourself!

We want to know who you are, what you’re passionate about, and what makes you YOU! The best answers often come from topics you’re passionate about, and real world examples - try to think broader than a difficult group assignment.
