WRITING TEST
The written portion has a 20 minute time limit.
You will be given a prompt and asked to write a brief essay. This helps us to assess your written communication skills and ability to think on your feet.
INTERVIEWS
If you are successful in the online Assessment tests, you will then progress to the Interview stage.
The first is a technical phone interview, covering technical concepts (i.e. programming languages) and overall logic and critical thinking skills. The second is a behavioral-based Skype interview focusing on your passion for IT, career goals, and educational background. Each lasts approximately 15 minutes. Your recruiter will coordinate these with you.
We are looking for committed, motivated, ambitious, dynamic individuals and we will be looking for energy, enthusiasm and examples that demonstrate these qualities in your answers.
Example questions:
• FDM and the IT industry
