Interview Process

Our interview process will begin within a week after the expiry of the job advertisement.

If you are successful after an initial phone interview, you will be invited to meet our team for an in-person interview. An interview invitation will usually be sent via email, along with a position description, the name and position title of the interviewers and location of the interview.

The initial interview will include a general discussion about our organisation, the role and we will ask lots of questions to get to know you better. After the initial interview, successful candidates will be invited for a second interview. This second interview will consist of technical as well as behavioural based questions, relevant to the role.

Depending on the role, we may also ask final candidates to undertake other assessments such as literacy and numeracy tests, group exercises, presentations or psychometric assessments.

All unsuccessful candidates will be notified accordingly by email.

If you would like feedback on an in-person interview, you may contact our People & Culture team.

Unsuccessful candidates who attend the second in-person interview will be contacted via phone and provided verbal feedback.

As part of the recruitment process, all shortlisted candidates must successfully undertake a pre-employment medical assessment prior to joining our team.
