IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As part of our efforts to create a fairer and competency-based recruitment process, you will be invited to a chat-based initial interview with our virtual recruitment assistant, Hubert. The purpose of this interview is to speed up and improve the accuracy of our selection process - it does not replace the human interview but serves as a first step that helps us prepare for a more in-depth conversation later in the process.
The interview typically takes around 3 minutes to complete, and we encourage you to do it as soon as you have the opportunity. Want some tips before the interview? Feel free to check out this article: English Hubert Instructions
