A recruiter initially reached out to me and set up an initial phone interview. The recruiter called five minutes before the scheduled time and my phone didn't pick up the call. The recuiter didn't leave a voicemail or email. I called back three times at the scheduled time leaving a voicemail and email. I didn't receive any reply or call back so I assumed the recruiter, which is remote, most likely wanted a nice three day weekend since I was probably the last one on her list.
I received an email back after the long weekend to setup another interview. The second interview attempt went well and I was told that they wanted to move fast and she was going to push my resume and information to the next stage. I didn't expect much from the initial experience and got ghosted.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at LexisNexis Risk Solutions (Leeds, England)
Interview
Take home coding task, a continuation of an already started project with specific guidelines as to what is the goal and what precautions to take. This was then reviewed and you would discuss your implementation and choices you made, assumptions you made, etc. It was one of a very few interviews which were applicable to the job and testing the basic skills needed to conduct the duties.
