I interviewed at Satellite Applications Catapult (Harwell, South East England, England)
Interview
Satellite Applications Catapult utilise the Applied recruitment platform, which works well. When first applying for this role, they asked candidates to submit their CV and respond to three questions on how they'd approach certain in-role tasks or challenges. No cover letter was required and these responses were open to view and work on until a set deadline. The Applied platform then presents the reviewers at the Catapult the responses without identifying the canditates, in order to remove bias from the review process. After succeeding at this stage, I was invited to interview at the Catapult office on the Harwell science park.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The session was split between a short exercise and then an interview. The exercise involved assessing a dataset to indentify issues and answer some related questions. The subsequent interview was friendly and straightfoward, revolving around my understanding of the Catapult, the role itself, my previous experience and how best to work with others.
