I applied online. I interviewed at Hightown Housing Association
Interview
First stage - Phone interview which would then be followed by a face-to-face interview if successful. You get to choose the time of your interview. Be prepared to know about the company as you will be asked what you know about the company.
I interviewed at Hightown Housing Association in May 2016
Interview
Applied through company website, application online was straight forward and to input information that's on a CV. Got a call two weeks later for a telephone interview with one of the company directors. The interview consisted of 5 questions. It lasted for roughly 20 mins.
I applied online. I interviewed at Hightown Housing Association (Hemel Hempstead, England) in Jan 2015
Interview
1st stage: overview of employment history followed by around 5 competency based interview questions. Pleasant interviewers but focused on asked the question, taking responses and moving on.
Advised outcome due within a week, heard a couple of days later that I was progressed to 2nd interview.
2nd stage: online numerical and verbal reasoning tests, plus personality testing
3rd stage: 10 minute presentation (employer of choice), competency based interviews, exercise (writing a job description). Questions on presentation; interview questions around employment law, business plans, results delivery - usual questions. Panel interview of 3 - pleasant and professional.
Only negative was around outcome and feedback: interviewed on a Thursday, advised more candidates to be seen Friday and Monday. Waited 10 days for news on outcome; eventually requested an update and then received very short regret email. Email said feedback could be requested; two requests and I'm still waiting (disappointing given the amount of testing, prep and interviewing).
