I was contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter, the role was FSP. Had a 30 minute phone chat with the recruiter, in general, about my experience and the job requirements. I then had an online interview with the line manager. The discussion delved deeper into the specifics of the role, and my own experience in relation to those specifics. I had a second interview with the manager from the client, and the topics were similar to the first interview.
