The process started out with a recruitment agency, where the lovely Mollie first gave me a call to screen for logistics/right to work etc. before scheduling a Skype interview. The Skype interview lasted around an hour, with questions about why the role/company appealed to me and more situational examples. The next step was two online tests for numerical and verbal reasoning. Prior to setting the tests, I was advised as to how best to prepare which enabled me to pass the tests successfully. On passing the tests I was invited to a 'discovery day' with Octopus Energy's own recruitment team. This took place over Zoom and involved a few group tasks with other candidates as well as an individual interview. Again, I was advised on what preparation work I needed to do beforehand which was of great help. Octopus maintain their inclusivity by beginning with a recruitment agency, as this allows candidates to make it through to the discovery day without having been judged by Octopus themselves. The final stage of the process was a 30 minute one-to-one call, during which I was offered and accepted a job.

J’ai eu l’occasion de passer deux entretiens avec Octopus Energy et l’expérience a été très positive. Les recruteurs ont été à l’écoute, bienveillants et transparents tout au long du processus. Les retours ont été rapides après chaque échange et l’équipe est restée facilement joignable par mail, ce qui rend le suivi fluide et rassurant pour les candidats.
