What candidates are saying

Love this as I'm a bit of a data and technology nerd. My kind of round 1 interview
Loved the UI used for the application process, had never come across such a user-friendly one. Nice one
Makes the experience of applying for a new role good because it is interactive making it feel more engaging rather than just clicking on upload and apply on multiple job boards.
Really straight forward process, love the fact that the Assistant probed further on responses provided. I was able to give more details, I was concerned there would be a word restriction on my responses.
I like these kind of preliminary questions before proceeding to the next step. I am more relaxed to answer in a way which is the best of me.
