For our Continuous Improvement Coordinator role, we have chosen a really straightforward 2 step interview process.

The first stage is a simple video interview. It's a few really simple questions about you and your experience - and the questions are a maximum of 1 - 2 minutes each. From clicking the link to clicking submit, it should take you no more than 10 - 15 minutes.

This has replaced the telephone interview stage previously used, as it gives YOU as a candidate the freedom to answer the questions whenever and wherever you want to, totally at your leisure. For us, it brings your skills and attributes alive, really gives you the opportunity to demonstrate why you're ideal for the job, and a chance for us to see those communication skills in 'real-time'.

Once we have received the application, we will view them and benchmark them against our scoring criteria. If you pass this stage, we'll be straight on the phone to bring you in for a face to face interview, and then hopefully make you an offer!
