I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Xero in Mar 2014
Interview
Polite, comfortable but "no messing around" approach - initial 10 minutes phone interview was followed by 25 minute phone interview. Face to Face interview with Sales Director (60+ mins) was followed by written tests and 60 min interview with MD.
Final psychometric test took around 90 mins.

Question 1
Nothing specific - but be prepared for the written test!
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Xero (Singapore) in Dec 2019
Interview
Applied through a recruiter, got a call for a telephonic interview in 4 days.
Went through with the call and spoke with the HR. Was asked standard screening questions.
The recruiter got in touch with me after a week - apparently they were looking for a 100% hunter role but the job indicated was an "Account Management" position? My background is in both hunting and farming, and told them so.
They had a separate Sales role they were hiring for, so either they botched up the process or do not really understand the difference between the two roles.
The process, or the job being interviewed for could have been better managed
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Xero
Interview
first round phone in with the hr, then 3-5 rounds interview with the management team. it took around 1-2 months to start from submitting the cv to release the result.
pretty simple process, one phone interview then one in person and I met with several people that visit. at the time management was really nice and approachable, however I've learned things have changed since. everyone works in a WIDE open space, so no privacy or ability to hear yourself think unless you go into a conference room, which happened for some of the onsite interviews. at the time, nice folks but I think everyone like that is gone by now.
