We recognise that candidates may choose to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to assist with preparing job applications and interview materials. Limited use of AI for support purposes, such as improving grammar, formatting documents, conducting research, or preparing for interviews, is generally acceptable. We are committed to providing an inclusive recruitment process and acknowledge that some candidates may use AI tools as a reasonable adjustment for a disability.
However, candidates are expected to ensure that all information submitted during the recruitment process accurately reflects their own skills, qualifications, experience, and work. Any application materials, assessments, interview responses, presentations, or work samples must represent the candidate's own knowledge, abilities, and achievements.
By participating in our recruitment process, candidates confirm that any use of AI has been appropriate, transparent where required, and consistent with the expectations outlined above. Where inappropriate use of AI is identified, this may result in a candidate's application being withdrawn from consideration.
Our goal is to ensure a fair and equitable recruitment process in which all candidates are assessed on their genuine skills, experience, critical thinking and potential.
We conduct Competency-based interviews. Competency-based interviews use questions which aim to find out how you have used specific skills in your previous experience and how you approach problems, tasks, and challenges. These interviews aim to uncover your past performance by asking open-ended questions (e.g., Tell us about a time...). Each question helps the interviewer learn about your past performance in a key skill area critical to success in the position for which you are interviewing.
A useful way to prepare for this style of questioning is to use the STAR technique. The STAR technique is a way to frame answers to each question in an organized manner that will give the interviewer the most information about your past experience. As you prepare to answer each question, consider answering the following components:
