I applied online. I interviewed at Civil Service Fast Stream (Bristol, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
Initial application, followed by pyscometric tests. If passed those tests then the next stage is the extra information, depending on the schemes choses. Assessment centre followed by Final Selection Board
Online questions, additional information, assessment centre then final board. Online questions were standard but took quite a long time and were repetitive. Final board was more interesting and is the only stage which is scheme-specific.
I interviewed at Civil Service Fast Stream (London, England)

Assessment centre:
The first task was a written advice task on a policy area. The second task involved a stakeholder communication. The final task was a Personal development conversation (interview) where they asked about strengths, weaknesses and motivation to join the fast stream
Assessment involved looking at a sample case and summarising the details in a brief. Interview required you to talk about your plan of action if there were issues with government policies.
