Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Behavioural Insights Team (Londres, Inglaterra) em abr. de 2026
Entrevista
Application is anonymous. They ask you 3 questions on research methods and project management. Then, if you pass the first part, you are asked to do a work-task that involves coding and preparing a presentation. After, you have a final interview, but didn't arrive to that. The selection process is very fair and they give you feedback. I had a positive experience even if I didn't get the job.

The application itself had multiple case-study questions. Then then there was a task about interpreting data. And then there was an interview with 2 senior advisors. I would say the overall process was difficult because of the multiple time-consuming assignments.
Perguntas de entrevista [1]
Pergunta 1
You are working with a partner to evaluate the impact of a tutoring program for first-year university students to help improve their grades and retention. You have pitched a mixed-methods evaluation using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and student interviews to assess outcomes after one year. The partner will use the evidence from the evaluation to decide whether to continue the tutoring program and scale it to other universities.
When presenting to a wider group of stakeholders:
One person asks why we can’t just do a before-after
Another asks whether it's worth the effort to do student interviews
