Our recruitment process
Face to face interview with the Hiring Manager
We use behaviour-based techniques for our interviews to allow you to showcase your skills and abilities through examples.
The Hiring Manager will want to know what you have done, how you did it and how you might do it differently next time.
Second interview with a Senior Manager
A great opportunity to build on your first interview and highlight further information around your capabilities and accomplishments.
Do you have some final questions you're keen to ask? This is your time to ask them! Don’t forget to let your personality shine too – that’s really important to us.
Reference checks
Your Talent Partner will now be in touch with you to complete two professional reference checks with your most recent direct managers.
We use an online platform with a third party company called X-Ref for this, but we will talk you through the whole process when the time comes.
Hints and tips for preparing for your interview at BOQ.
Behaviour-based Interviews
We like this technique as it's based on the assumption that past behaviour is the best indicator of future behaviour. The ability to transfer skills learnt in one environment to another is really important! Here are some handy tips that will help you put your best foot forward:
1. Prepare beforehand
Review the advertisement or job description for what competencies the role requires and make a list of your past experiences and successes. Prepare well thought out examples to showcase your talent and abilities.
2. Follow the STAR technique
This is a useful strategy for behaviour-based questions as it will help you provide a thorough yet concise answer without getting side-tracked. Describe the situation in which the event took place, define the task you were asked to complete, explain the action you took and finally, outline the result of your actions. Be as specific as you can and focus on how your actions resulted in success for the company, no matter how big or small it was.
3. Take your time
Don’t feel like you have to answer instantly - it’s okay to take a moment to calm your nerves and gather your thoughts. Simply pause, take a breath or have a sip of water and think of the most relevant example to best answer the question.
Psychometric Testing
Depending on the role, you may be required to participate in psychometric testing as part of the recruitment process. This testing just gives us a great understanding of your numerical, verbal and inductive reasoning abilities. We use a third party company called SHL On Demand for this and the testing will be sent to you directly via email. The best way to prepare is to set yourself up in a nice quiet space with no distractions and utilise the practice questions available.
