      Interview

      The interview process was straight forward. It was q virtual meeting on MS Team's. The only thing about this is your not tech savvy it may be hard to set up. I would suggest having a trial run with software. Some of the questions were a bit tricky but overall it was professional. Feedback was a little longer waiting than expected.

            I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.I interviewed at Rethink Mental Illness

            Interview

            The interview was very long - 90 minutes and I was asked to present on EDI strategy for 20 minutes. This was comparatively extremely time consuming compared to similar roles & salary bands I have interviewed for. I found out I was unsuccessful by logging on to my networkx account and seeing my application had been declined. I emailed the recruiter to confirm and received a generic decline email saying that they are too busy to give feedback so don’t ask in not so many words. I was incredibly disappointed in this response as it’s an organisation I’d heard great things about and it seems extremely disrespectful to a candidate’s time and effort to not even call and inform them of the decision, much less refuse to give feedback after a 90 minute interview process including a formal presentation. I gave this feedback and was completely ignored by recruitment. Very disappointing. Will not consider them again as an employer.

                  I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.I interviewed at Rethink Mental Illness (London, England) in 01/05/2021

                  Interview

                  I was put forward by a recruiter and Rethink got back really quickly about an interview. The interview was lovely, they seem like a very nice team. They were very professional and clear about what the job involved. The interview panel had three people, including the line manager, the director and an HR representative. I was given a writing test to complete in 45 minutes which was straight forward but normally I would leave myself a bit more time for proofreading. They were very clear about when I would hear back and kept to their word. Even though I wasn't offered the job I was given very kind feedback after the interview. All of my interactions with Rethink were wonderful - I'm sure they would be a nice team to work with.
