I was very impressed with the entire process. The communication has been very effective between the recruitment agency & BA & myself. All those that have posted up reviews on here..a HUGE THANK YOU! Your feefback has been tremendously helpful.
My journey started on 15 Aug with online assessments..these were mostly mathematical & logical stuff & once u passed that you get to fill in the questionnaire about your personality. I needed to wait for the outcome of this. then on 19th Aug I got an email to invite me for a telephone interview. I had booked a slot for 21 August. I was away on vacation but still went ahead with the telephone interview.
The guy from Manpower recruitment, Sean, was amazing. Friendly & made me feel relaxed. The Interview went on for abt 20mins. I was then put on hold & told that I was successful. I had some forms to fill in online, adress NI number, & details of referees etc. So once I submitted that, I was emailed about 2 weeks later to invite me in for an assessment.
I chose the date 16 September. I just completed my assessment & the competition was quite tough. The experience was great. Lovely people I met there. Very relaxed environment. There were 25 of us. 5 per table & we all seemed to get on well at the table & all gave our own feedback when required. No overpowering personalities. Thankfully.
We were informed that we would hear from either BA or Manpower recruitment about our outcome. This should take about 7 days. However if they really liked us, we could hear from them even sooner, before the end of the day. So by the time I got home, which was an hour after I left the recruitment venue, I received an email to say I have been successful. I was absolutely delighted. So next stage is criminal record checks & contacting referees.
