Interview
After the submission of application, HR reaches out for a phone interview with selected candidates. Phone interview consists of generic interview questions - why are you intersted in this position, give an example of the recent team projects and what went well, tell me about the time you observed an unsafe behaviour and what did you do etc. Questions are focused on behavioural competencies and company values. If successful, there is an interview with Hiring Manager, line manager and/or engineer from the same team. A mix of behavioural and technical questions aligned to the job description.
