      Human Resources Manager Interview

      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      The recruitment process is quite cumbersome. Applicants are made to provide answers to a long list of technical questions which is very time-consuming before proceeding to the next stage. It may be frustrating if one does not get the job offer after putting in so much time demanding efforts at the recruitment.

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Warsaw, Masovia) in June 2023

      Interview

      I had a written form of an interview. Having 15 years of experience they asked for my results in high school!!! I have been chased to submit it even though I did a week ago and nobody looked into it. Right after I got rejected. Strange experience.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Sydney) in Sept 2024

      Interview

      Very complex interview process with multiple stages including a written submission and aptitude testing. All contact via email. I’m not convinced that the job actually existed as it is constantly advertised.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canonical in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Incredibly drawn out interview process that includes written interview and assessment before speaking with anyone. After this, you will typically meet with 6-7 people. I was advanced to the psychometric assessment, but could not commit any additional time.

      Question 1

      What were your scores in high school math? What subjects did you enjoy the most in high school? What ranking were you in high school and the grading scale?
