Very professional approach. All interviews ran smoothly and the process was very competent. I was kept informed at all times what the process would be and what the next steps would be. They also took time to explain why my application would not be taken forward.

Application

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Skipton Building Society

Interview

Typical 2 stage interview based on scenarios and competency questions. The second stage interview involved preparing a 'solution' to a problem that was set by the interviewing team. The problem itself appeared to be a direct extract from their overall selling strategy so drawing attention to how any proposed solution would be impacted by culture, internal power plays and capabilities gap was not positively received.

UX Designer and Software Engineer

Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

Software Engineer

I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

Manager

Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
