I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BAT (London, England) in Jan 2013
Interview
I initially had a telephone interview. This was followed by two competency based interviews. One with a panel and then the final stage with a Senior HR Business Partner.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BAT (Nairobi) in Apr 2009
Interview
The interviews were two, incorporating the Line Manager as well as the Head of Function. They used competence based questioning, no hypothetical situations, and this was good. They created an atmosphere that was relaxed and allowed room for thought. They were friendly enough to create a rapport but also exuded professionalism.
