Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Holiferm (Manchester, Inglaterra).
Entrevista
I applied for one specific role, but at the time they had various roles open with very different titles that all had more or less the same job description. The interview process is technically done in three stages, but it felt like four as there is an initial phone call beforehand, which took forever to set up. There were about three attempts to have this call each time I was ready and waiting, but didn't get called and even the actual call was 10 minutes later than agreed (without apology), which felt very unprofessional on their part. The stages are technical "interview", followed by a competency interview and ending with a site visit, which apparently involves a test in the lab. The technical "interview" is in fact a written exam in which you get 2h to answer questions that are send as word document. This could have easily been transformed into a 1h face to face interview, which would allow a conversation about the topics. The chosen format suggests that discussions are not valued at this company. I applied for a technical role and the questions had a heavy financial bias. Considering all this I was glad when not being invited to the next stage as it was clearly not a good fit

Teams interview with HR with STAR competency questions, followed by a timed technical test which is emailed to you, followed by an on-site interview with the hiring manager and another short technical interview.
Whole process was relatively quick for the number of stages, taking a few weeks from initially talking to internal recruiters to accepting the offer.

The technical test was quite hard and tight on time. The first interview is competency based and was quite straight forward. The second interview was technical based and rather specific to their process and delved quite deeply into automation. The process was quite lengthy as interviews were 2 weeks apart from each other.
