- Screening call via AI application, with ability to opt-out and meet with HR directly instead. Almost exclusively behavioural questions. Asked to second interview several weeks later, the interview date and time was predetermined. - In-person interview. At no point in any communications from Movember was it indicated that this interview would be a group affair. However, upon arriving at Movember, I was walked without warning into a room filled with 16 other applicants as well as around 10 staff members. I was then subjected to two PowerPoint presentations and a small group activity. The small group activity was to design a themed moustache, then present it to the broader group. It was never mentioned whether or not this exercise was being evaluated for performance. After the exercise, HR took people back to interview rooms in waves. This was done in no particular order. In the meantime, applicants were left to chat with one another and wait. I was not brought back for an interview until after the allotted time slot for the interview. My interview was with two team members, who asked, again, mainly behavioural questions. This experience was the best part of the entire ordeal; the interviewers were warm and kind. I will note that not all candidates were interviewed by the same people. I'd estimate there were 3 interviews going on at a time in different rooms with different interviewers, all for the same role. My advice to Movember: clearly communicate to applicants the format of the interview (namely, if it is a group affair) in advance. Otherwise, you are disadvantaging minorities, especially neurodivergent people. It is a poor recruitment practice in general– incredibly disrespectful to applicants– and seems like a waste of both time and money for all those involved. All this for a low-pay, short-term contract role at a company with colossally bad Glassdoor reviews left a very sour taste in my mouth! Please treat your applicants with more respect in future.
