Application
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BT Group (Ipswich, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
The first stage was an completing an online form, including uploading a CV and cover letter. Next I was invited to complete a Situational Strengths test. I passed this and was told the next stage would be a video interview, however I had to wait for 2 months until I received my invitation.
The video interview was provided through Sonru. You are presented with a question, given a short amount of time to read it and then your answer is recorded. As a result, unlike a traditional, or even a phone or skype interview, there is little feedback from the interviewer during the interview. I was asked a total of 14 questions and the interview lasted 30-40 minutes.
I didn't pass this stage however the next stage would have been an assessment centre.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you feel if you were asked to work in an analytical way
First are a series of online test which I passed. The next stage is a video interview where I was told I had passed this stage and the next stage would be an assessment centre. After waiting for months I then received an email saying that all the vacancies for the role I applied for had been filled and so my application couldn't go any further? Surely the company would wait until all candidates had completed the assessment centre before filling roles?

Question 1
Give an example of a time you encountered a problem, what did you do to solve this?
Didn't get through the video interview and received no feedback whatsoever, which is pretty poor. I know this is their policy but still disappointing as the rest of the process was good.
Overall they dont seem to care much about applicants until you get to AC stage, as it was all automated responses. Quite impersonal.

It's an online application, then they send you competency tests in logical reasoning and maths, then invite you to an online video assessment and then later to an assessment centre.
