I got to video interview last time and waiting to see if I did this.

The process, from memory was 5 or 6 questions, 3 minutes to record an answer and 2 attempts with a few minutes to decide if you were happy with attempt 1 before it automatically progresses to next question if you don't press anything.

I'm still to hear anything.. Worried they've forgot about me but just hoping they are letting people know once slots come available! Have they given you much time in which to complete this?

You just click a link to record the interview, you get 3 days to complete that.

When did you complete the online assessments, I did mine Thursday tea time and heard about the interview around lunchtime today - might give you an indication of how long to wait

How many people have sat the 3rd VR assesment and still waiting to hear back (I did these Friday and heard nothing as yet)

Also how many still in have already sat/passed the psychometric assessments (I haven't personally)

I did mine on Thursday evening and heard today about the video interview.

I've done my video interview so here's a summary:

You get a chance to test your microphone and camera and you can take as long as you like to make sure the quality is good.

You are then asked 6 questions and can give an answer of a max time of 3 minutes. You get 2 attempts to answer. Your second answer is automatically submitted.

If you've done your research you should not be surprised by any of the questions you're asked.

That's my basic overview, without giving the actual questions away.

Thanks for this. Really helpful

Thanks for the reply, I completed the 3rd assessment on Friday mid-day. Hopefully will hear something by the end of tomorrow!

Just though I would give an update. I have just completed the recorded video interview, it was pretty straightforward, had very clear instructions and I didn't feel rushed.

I did have an issue with one of my responses to a question not uploading and then timing out, but i emailed them as soon as I had completed the rest and they sent me an invite to record that one question again - so if anyone else has an issue similar make sure you contact them ASAP.

Just received a 'please bare with us' email following the video interview. Has anyone else received anything different so far?
