Congratulations on being invited to an interview! Organisations use a variety of interview methods, and understanding these can help prepare effectively. At Rygor, we usually conduct a two-stage interview process: the first stage is usually a virtual interview via Teams, followed by a second, in-person interview. Additionally, during the second stage, we may ask candidates to complete a task relevant to the role. This approach allows us to assess both your skills and fit for the position. Other forms of interviews can be:
Online
Employers can test specific abilities, judgement or skills through an online task or test.
Phone
Employers can find out if you would be a good match for the role and company prior to a face-to-face interview. Employers can also assess your communication skills and how confident you present yourself.
Face-to-Face
Meeting face-to-face allows the employer to get a better idea if you would be a good fit for the company, by understanding how you perform in an in-person setting. They can have an in-depth discussion about your relevant experience and skills. This is a good opportunity for you to work out if the company is right for you and see where you would be working.
Video
Due to location and suitability, a video interview may be conducted. This is similar to a face-to-face interview and employers can discuss your relevant skills and experiences. On a video call, we would suggest having the camera on. Therefore, present yourself how you would for an in-person interview.
Panel
On a panel, each interviewer will be considering your skills from a different perspective and how they align with the requirements and business. This allows hiring managers to gather a second opinion on a candidate. Additionally, employers can assess how you perform in a more pressurised situation and in front of an audience. What’s great is that you get to meet more people in the business.
Group
Group interviews may ask candidates to work as a team and complete tasks. This gives the employer the opportunity to witness how candidates work as a team, communicate and problem-solve.
Team
You may be asked to interview with current team members. This opportunity allows both you and the team to assess whether you would be a good fit for one another. Additionally, speaking with individuals who perform the role will provide you with valuable insights into the day-to-day responsibilities and work environment.
