      Head of Business Unit Interview

      11 May 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Laing O'Rourke (London, England) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Headhunted on Linkedin, interviewed on Teams with internal recruiter, then had a 2-hour interview with existing Head and at least 4 more interviews with various other Senior Executives on Teams across different countries (2 people at a time). The interview process took several months (4-6) and was told a verbal yes, had reference checks completed, but ended up being a no as CEO returned from holidays and changed direction. Disappointing outcome but I got lots of experience interviewing with so many different people, different questions and such extremely fast-paced conversations. They're still an appealing company to work for.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself, when have you solved a problem on site, what are your strengths, what are your biggest weaknesses, what kind of leader are you, where do you see yourself... a few technical questions about engineering / technology but mostly a series of long and fast conversation with each different executive focusing on their speciality, with the interviewer talking the most and covering the company, different businesses, objectives and some of the problems they faced. It certainly sounded like a very innovative and interesting company.
