I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Big Red Recruitment (Stratford-upon-Avon, England) in May 2011
Interview
I initially spoke with one of the directors on the phone so that I could get a basic understanding of the role and the company, they then invited me to a face to face interview. This was an informal meeting where I was asked mainly about my previous experience, interests outside of work and what motivated me. I was then told more about the company and given plenty of opportunity to ask any questions. After the interview I fed back to the recruitment agency and they arranged a final interview with the second Director, it was a very conversational meeting which gave me a good feel for the company/team. I spoke with the agency and later that day I was offered the role!
