Different to any other interview process, but that's a good thing! The entire process began with a call from Aasimah at Instant Impact (who was amazing and supportive throughout, sticking to timelines she gave even whilst on annual leave!). We then moved to a video call, after which I was progressed to the next stage which was a numerical and verbal test (revise as much as you can, the time limits make this trickier than you'd think). After passing I was put through to the discovery day, which was well thought out and structured. It was clear to see a lot of thought and effort went in from management to put this together. There were mini group tasks, a 1-1 interview and Q&A round with the team including regional managers, trainers, operations management and everything in between. It was refreshing to see so many of the team so quickly, it shows a real commitment to employees from the beginning! After this we received a call back to go through the role in a little more detail and thankfully was offered the job with the start date. I'm honestly amazed at the efforts Octopus have gone to, whilst other companies have struggled to adapt to Covid and life outside the office, Octopus are thriving. From the very beginning it was well organised, personalised and fun whilst informative. This is a company that really seems to value you as a person, not just a number on the books. Very happy to begin my Octopus career!

Friendly and engaging, The team at Octopus were extremely courteous and welcoming, 1st we had a one on one interview with a 3rd party (Who was just as friendly as supportive) then the group stage with Octopus themselves, It was pleasant seeing employees pop in for a hello and to wish us good luck, All candidates would give a claim to fame fact and some of the stories was absolutely amazing! We had a group task which we would all come together in groups which was great to get to know potential new team mates. Afterwards we had 1 on 1 interview and Q&A session which was super useful. We was then invited to a final interview.
