The interview process consisted of multiple rounds. It started with a conversation with HR, followed by a meeting with the head of the department. I was then asked to complete an exercise and present it to the team lead and manager. After that, there was a final discussion with the people manager. All conversations were followed up quickly and professionally, with useful feedback provided at each stage. I met very interesting people throughout the process and had engaging, insightful discussions.

One month after applying, I received a very brief email with a link to submit my video interview with no further instruction or context. The link led to a page with more instruction on how the mechanics of recording of the videos would work but also called it a "test" so I was unsure if it was a skills assessment or an interview. It was 6 interview questions you had to answers in 15 minutes and could rerecord your answers if you had time. A few days later I received an email I would not be moving on with the process with no feedback. Overall, it was a dehumanising experience. HiBob showed little regard for candidates by failing to offer a two-way conversation that would allow applicants to ask questions about the role or company after investing their time and effort in applying and interviewing at their organisation.
