    A mate had their interview in late January for the 2019 competition and was informed last week that they placed in the top 20 of the panel.

    They aren't sure how many positions are going so they aren't sure if they will be placed.

    One thing that stuck me as strange is that there doesn't appear to be a follow up technical interview, am I correct in believing this or if they do get called from the panel will there be further interviews?

    There was a technical expert at the interview and 20% of the interview time was dedicated to "Specialist knowledge and Expertise". There is no follow up.

    He did mention the above to me alright and he scored 80% in that section based on the feedback that they provided, just seems a little strange based on my experience in the private sector.

    The last job I went for had an initial phone technical interview followed up by two further technical interviews with practical demonstrations and two non technical interviews, over a four hour period and that would tend to be the norn.

    Not knocking the interview process, just thought that there would be a more in-depth follow on interview, perhaps with a practical element.

    He's well capable of doing the job, just has to wait and see if he gets called.

    There are many legal issues, discrimination casses etc that mean the interview format can't be changed at all. An AO for accounting, HR, tech, or anything else all have to have the same interview.

    I was offered a position contingent on vetting and references. Fingers crossed all goes well.
