I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Perrett Laver (London, England) in May 2014
Interview
I was firstly called up having expressed interested, when I spoke on the phone for about 30 minutes to a consultant. I was then invited to an interview, which I did with two other senior members of the company. Very friendly and personable. The interview was more of a conversation than something based on set questions and such.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Perrett Laver (London, England) in Jul 2023
Interview
3 rounds of interviews, through a recruiter. Really smooth process and friendly team – it seemed like interesting work and my potential was very honest about the workload & responsibilities. I ended up declining because the external recruiter wasn't transparent about the salary offered, but this was no reflection on the company.
