Call with Recruiter

The call with your Recruiter is an opportunity for you to find out everything you will want to know about Alcumus, and the role you are being considered for. This is a two way conversation for us to get to know you as a prospective candidate, and for you to decide if Alcumus feels like the place for your next career move. We will talk through your previous experience, career highs and your motivators!
Stage 4

Meet and Greet

Your meet and greet session is a more informal meeting, and an opportunity for you to meet the hiring manager for the role you are being considered for. The formal interview stages will follow this step. 
Stage 5

1st Stage Interview

Your first stage interview is an opportunity for the hiring manager to get to know you, understand why you are interested in the role you are being considered for, and answer any further questions you have about us as a business. This will often be competency based, so it is a great idea to prepare yourself by reading through the job description and company information ahead of this meeting. 
Stage 6

Senior Hiring Competency Interview

This interview will be a criteria based Q&A interview where we will be asking a series of scenario and evidence based questions to establish key behaviours and leadership skills we expect. This will be a chance to understand how you have:
  • led high performing and successful teams
  • driven commercial value and outputs
  • communicate with your teams and other key stakeholders
  • applied lessons learned in setting strategy and driven significant change
  • identified opportunities for improvement
  • proven the value of what you can deliver
  • faced resistance and dealt with challenging situations
  • leadership style and how you have developed teams 
My recommendation is to think about where you can evidence successful approaches to the above, implemented lessons learned and we will also draw questions from the highlights outlined in your CV.

If you have any further questions please let me know and I would be happy to pick up a call tomorrow to talk through any you might have.
 
If you require any adjustments to be made for your attendance, or have any questions, please let us know.
