The interview process was pretty straightforward and enjoyable. It's all done via pre-recorded questions, so you never interact with a human at any time.
It starts off with setting up your webcam and microphone and gives you the opportunity to ensure they are working properly. Next is showing your ID, either a passport, driving license, or whatever other types of ID they request.
Afterwards, you are asked an icebreaker question to ease you into the process; in my case, it was "What's something you are currently really interested in?" or something along those lines. This is quite helpful as it eases you in and gets you used to talking to yourself!
The main interview consists of four Strength-based questions, which I have roughly listed below. Based on my research, the Civil Service is very fond of the STAR approach. Even though these are Strength-based questions and not competency-based questions, I would add in a small STAR example and reflect on your example too. I would advise you research their Success Profiles stuff so you have a better idea of what to expect.
I gave the interview an average rating, as Strength-based questions require a bit more thinking on your feet, and they aren't something you can really prepare for. But hopefully, the questions I listed below will help you :)

Icebreaker: What's something you are currently really interested in?
Short fast and only 5 questions in total, it was weird since I never done a prerecorded video interview before. Between each question it gives you 2-3 minutes to prepare your answer so as long as you prepared or can think in your toes quick you’ll be fine.

Online assessment then pre recorded interview with 2 questions and around 30 seconds to answer the questions this was good I thought as no interviewer looking at you so less awkward just make sure you have some good WiFi

It was fairly straightforward, just recorded questions and you have like 30 seconds to answer them. It was 2 questions and pre recorded so no interviewer looking at you, just have a good internet connection
