Transact Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Transact in September 2020.

Interview

Was quick and professional, very nice and welcoming process and atmosphere giving from the interviewers at Transact. They were polite, understanding and talkative. Whilst I wasn't successful this time, they urged me to apply again some time in the future.

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Transact (London, England).

Interview

I had a telephone interview with the recruiter, and then a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager, which included an assessment. On this occasion I was unsuccessful however I have been extremely impressed with both the recruitment process and the way I have been treated as a candidate.

The recruiter actually called me to give me feedback (rather than a generic email) and got back to me when she said she would, rather than making me chase or wait. It is evident that Transact is a Financial Services business that generally cares for its employees.

I would highly recommend interviewing with their business.

Interview

Good communication throughout the process. Telephone interviewed, followed by online tests, followed by face to face interview and some practical tests.
You were made to feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Transact (London, England) in June 2018.

Interview

First had a telephone interview with the recruiter. Second interview was with Service Desk Delivery Manager, recruiter and another person. Technical test.
Found that the panel were under prepared. Was frustrated that they said, were not looking for someone who was experienced with networking and did not matter if did not have the knowledge. However they were hypocrites and wanted someone to be more knowlegable.
Advice to them. Do your homework and read candidate's CV!

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Transact (London, England) in December 2017.

Interview

I applied directly through the Transact website and was contacted for a telephone interview after a few days. We discussed previous jobs, university, why transact? and about myself; This lasted about 20 minutes.
I was then invited to complete the online tests that were fairly easy. I was contacted the day after where I was invited to a face-to-face interview, which was comprised of an in-tray exercise (where you had to rate the importance of certain tasks and explain why), a mock telephone call with a financial advisor and general interview questions.

I was asked about my CV previous studies and why Transact. spoke about my current role also and some examples of experience I have. however got a call from the recruiter to say they thought I didn't fit the role when questioned how they reached that conclusion was told that they wanted someone with customer service experience- I have over 10 years of customer service experience and felt I portrayed that well. I didn't finds the feedback given open and honest.

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Transact.

Interview

Initial phone interview which was about 20 minutes with HR which is relaxed just general interview questions and some company knowledge.
Shortly after this was two online tests reading and maths. Surprisingly harder than you would think.
Once these had been passed there is an assessment day with a few tasks and a further interview with HR and a Regional Manager.
In the end a really good experience.

Interview

Very quick and smooth process. HR was very nice for the initial phone interview, which lasted around 25 mins. On face to face interview, staff was very nice and welcoming, made you feel comfortable. Two assessments to do on the day which were not bad, mainly common sense and attention to detail, followed by a few competency based questions and questions about you and your experience. Overall lovely experience
