The interview process was very time consuming and badly managed. It consisted of a telephone interview, a writing assignment and two interviews with the program staff. The interviewers were very polite, but not attentive. They spoke loads and constantly repeated themselves, so by the time they finally asked their questions I was really bored! My main complaint relates to how they treated me in the end, having gone through to the last stage of the interview process. I was really holding my breath after they told me I was shortlisted with only one other candidate, but after a month or so of not hearing from them I decided to chase the HR. In response, I received an unsympathetic email stating that the other candidate was chosen instead. It was unkind and offensive, considering the effort and time (at least 3 weekends of my life) I invested in this process. Although I still think OSF is a great organisation, I felt very disappointed and pushed around by the staff.

The process began 2 months after applying online 1- Phone screening 2-video panel interview 3- written assessment 4-final panel interview It was an incredibly thoughtful process that really sought to gauge fit in the team and expertise in the topic area. There were no repetitive questions (which was a welcomed change to other interview processes ) and most questions are geared to test your competency for the job description. No trick questions.
