I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Xcede (London, England)
Interview
Long time ago now so maybe not relevant, but I interviewed with the co-founders and sales manager at the time. All have since left and the process is very different now

Tell me about a time that you succeeded in difficult circumstances.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Xcede (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
Easy and friendly interview with Julian & Nial, nice guys. Niall is an excellent manager. Very open & easy to speak to. 1 stage and an offer on the spot.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Xcede (London, England) in Dec 2022
Interview
Senior consultant set me up for an interview but didn't provide very helpful information or any prep. And then completely ghosted me after the interview, presumably because I didn't nail the job, even though I contacted him for feedback. Very unprofessional. At least give some feedback.
Sounds like they just want to get their cut and have no care for candidates or their own reputation.
Would not recommend this recruitment agency. There are better, more professional ones out there.
