What to expect in an interview?
The recruitment process at Common Purpose will usually involve two interviews so that we can learn more about the candidate and also give them the opportunity learn about the role and wider organization.
Interviews
The first interview will include the hiring lead and someone from our people team and it will last roughly 50 – 60 minutes. The hiring lead will ask specific job-related questions relevant to the role and will also give the candidate the opportunity to ask any questions about the organization and role. Someone from our people team will be present to cover all people specific questions.
The second interview will include someone different from the team and will roughly last 45 minutes. This interview will cover some further job-related questions and clarify your organizational fit. There may be a third-round interview, and this will be made clear during the recruitment process.
Technical task
To understand your suitability for a role, we may request a task to be completed at any stage in the interview process. If you are required to complete a task, this will be made clear during the recruitment process.
Successful candidates
If you are successful and offered the role, you will receive an offer letter stating the potential start date, pay, line manager and job title/position. We require two references from the successful candidate before sending an official contract and completing the hiring process.
