The interview process was straightforward and well-organized. I applied online and was guided through each step by a recruiter who was communicative and helpful. Overall, the process felt professional and respectful of my time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time when you had to manage multiple priorities under pressure, and how did you ensure everything was completed on time and to a high standard?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Freetrade (London, England) in Dec 2021
Interview
I had a very positive experience going through the Freetrade interview process. Ben (internal recruiter) made me feel at ease going through the whole process and was extremely helpful in answering any questions that I had in the build-up to each interview. They scheduled interviews around my own work schedule which was really helpful. All the interviewers asked insightful questions (particularly from the operations team) and were very friendly which made it an enjoyable process. I wish that I could have accepted the offer and will continue to watch Freetrade in the future!
There were four stages:
1. initial screening phone call with an internal recruiter
2. 30 mins skills interview with two people from the operations team
3. 1 hour interview with the same two people from the operations team
4. values interview with two people from a separate department.
