I interviewed at The Private Office (Leeds, England)
Interview
straight forward and open. questions related to role. a few STAR questions were also made. Overall the experience was fine and I was at ease during the interview. I would be happy to interview for this firm again.
Several virtual interviews followed by an in-person assessment day. Very friendly staff and culture of the company made the process feel relaxed and like they wanted to just get to know the applicants rather than strain us.
Thank you for your review! Any feedback is great and we really appreciate you taking the time to attend the assessment centre. All the best with your future endeavours.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Private Office (London, England) in Apr 2022
Interview
Interview with Client Service Manager and HR Officer.
The meeting started with the manager describing the role; then some competency based questions; then how I would react to various scenarios; then get to know me questions. The interview was then wrapped up with housekeeping and questions from me.
Was told that I would have to stay in role for a min of two and half years before I could progress.
I had the overall impression the company focuses on hiring graduates and not experienced staff.
