The initial response after applying online was an email invition to a quick phone call, 4 days after applying. This was a friendly and quick chat, asking about my interest in the position and outlining the follow-up in the recruitment process. Following that, I was invited to a group session "Discovery Day", which was hosted as an online Zoom meeting. The session was laid back and relaxed, wherein I was given the opportunity to meet the leader of the department I applied for, as well as some of the existing team members. There was a fantastic focus on getting to know my and other applicant's personalities, and the whole event felt more like myself and the company getting a feel for how we would fit together rather than strictly a skills-based interview. The session was half a day, split up between group discussions, break-out activities, and a one-on-one interview/discussion. Not long after this I was contacted by email to set another call to follow-up, and during that call I was offered the role. A very smooth and welcoming process from beginning to end. A positive experience which began solidifying a relationship and passion for Octopus even before I was offered a role. Would highly recommend.
