I applied online. I interviewed at Home Office (London, England) in May 2022
Interview
Easy enough, given time to answer a number of strength based questions which are then recorded after a certain time scale. Wouldn’t say the questions were hard. Not face to face
A broadened version of the STAR answers (Situation, Task, Action and Result) for the behaviours stated in the job description (delivering at pace, for example). We went through roughly four of them. The interview 'marking criteria' sticks to the generic civil service success profiles.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you give me a time you were able to deliver high quality work under time pressure.
Mainly competency based such as teamwork, leadership, working under pressure, organisation with some questions on your skills such as information technology, stakeholder engagement / management and some technical questions but depends on the specific role
