The first stage is a 60 minute interview – the first 30 minutes is a “chemistry” in which we will introduce our agency to you, ask questions about your ambitions and show you how you would be supported by your direct and wider teams daily. The second 30 minutes will consist of a “test” in which we provide realistic scenarios to assess your maths skills and attention to detail with numbers and language.
On the back of the assessment and test in the first stage, you might be invited to a second stage interview with one or more Account Directors. The purpose of this is to give your potential Director opportunity to assess your potential fit from a chemistry and cultural point of view to their team. Following end of the second interview we may make an offer to you.
