2 behaviour questions and 2 strength questions. 1 warm up question about motivations to apply for the role and chance to introduce yourself. Very positive experience. they are allowed to ask follow up questions for behaviour questions but not for strength questions
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Cabinet Office UK (London, England) in Dec 2024
Interview
Fairly standard, lot of strengths based questions based on Civil Service Fast Stream behaviours, took around 40 minutes. Over telephone rather than a zoom link, very low stress. Recruiter asked a couple of questions to ease you in, said they weren't assessed but notes were made so this is something to be aware of.
