“The digital assessment centre was fantastic, I felt comfortable and was able to practise in a real scenario with very helpful facilitators.
My assessor was brilliant in guiding me through questions. Their specific feedback was extremely helpful as they advised me to express my personality and add personal examples to answers. The next day I used the advice and obtained a graduate job – their reason for hiring me was for my authenticity. The mock interview and the feedback given was a massive factor in being chosen for this role!”
