I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at British Council (Belgrade, Central Serbia)
Interview
As transparent as possible. The expectations were clearly set and marked against company's standards which where available to applicants. Hiring and informing applicants also very transparent and efficiently done. One could have known what to expect in the interview, if short-listed.
Competency based questions. Asked about safeguarding because the roles involves working with children. Overall, followed the skills mentioned in the job description like change management, financial management, risk, project management, leadership. The interview concluded on time and updated about the next steps.

I applied online. I interviewed at British Council in Sep 2022
Interview
The process took long. It took almost 5 to 6 months from the time of application submission. First submitted the application, then didnt hear back for almost 2 months. Just when I thought it's over, got a call for an online interview. After the interview, it took almost a month before I heard back.
Very structured interview with a three member panel. Preparation essential. Friendly atmosphere, enough time for answering and thinking about what is being asked. If unsure what is being asked, ask for clarifications, since some may be vague. Overall a good experience.
