I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at The Coal Authority (Mansfield, England) in Oct 2016
Interview
Recruited through an agent but TCA did not seem to know what they wanted. Had two quite lengthy interviews but they still were not sure so had to have a third (informal) interview. Far too focussed on asking soft skills questions. The job described in the interview was not the same as the job when I started.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Coal Authority
Interview
It's a straightforward process. Panel interview with about 8- 10 competency, behavioural and DEI questions Friendly interviewers and welcoming team. Questions are mainly experience based - "tell me about a time"
