If you require any adjustments to be made to your application (whether that’s support with our interview questions, adjusting how we interview, or financial support with our hiring process) then please speak to Jonny Hiles, TA Lead (jonny.hiles@answerdigital.com)Our Interview Process

We pride ourselves on having a fair but flexible recruitment process, we want to create a platform where you can show us your best. For us, keeping it simple means you can focus on understanding if our people, values and the work we do are right for you. Our typical process can be broken down into 3 stages;

Application Process: Depending on the volume of applications, our process may involve a couple of assessments. We focus on your inherent ability rather than your CV. That’s why the application includes an analytical thinking and problem solving exercise. We want to assess your capacity for analytic thinking and problem-solving—skills that are crucial for a successful career with us.

Recruiter call: This will be with a member of the recruitment team, and normally lasts 15-30 minutes. We will talk to you about Answer Digital, the type of work we do, and an overview of the role. We’ll ask you some questions about your current situation and why you’re interested in working here. Here, we’d advise asking any questions about our people, such as our culture, career progression, or approach to flexible working.

Skills based interview: This interview will be with 2 people, normally from the team you’re applying to work with and roughly lasts an hour. This interview will involve questions around your experience, the skills you’ve gained and the work you’ve done. We’ll also ask questions about the role and challenges you might face and how you’d face them. Here, we’d recommend asking questions about the role, the day to day responsibilities and what life in the team is like.

Cultural/Value interview: The final interview stage is an hour-long discussion with two members of our Leadership team (either Directors or Capability Leads). This interview is a two-way conversation, as much about you assessing if Answer is the right fit for you as it is about us assessing your fit with Answer. The focus will be on our culture and values. We’ll discuss what our values mean to us, and we want to understand what values are important to you and how you like to work. We strongly encourage you to ask any questions you have about Answer as a business, including our business model and our ambitious growth plans.
