Application Process & Interviews at Cenitex

There were multiple rounds of interviews including - non-technical aptitude test - pre-recorded behavioural interviews (recording responses to questions) - online behavioural interviews - online assessment center - interview with first rotation's manager The recruiters and HR team was very prompt at responding to questions and getting back with interview outcomes.

Really friendly and welcoming. May lack technical assessment.

I enjoy the interview process as it was different from a lot of companies. In many of them the game was one of the first things you did in the interview process, but I am not that good with the game part as I would always get nervous. With Cenitex, the first steps were all about me and video interviews. One of the last steps was the game part, but because they already knew so much about me, I wasn't as nervous.

There was an introductory recorded video. Maybe a psychometric assessment. And then the final assessment day interview. This was done in a group setting online. Was a very nice touch for the hiring team to send out a little tea set to all those who made it to the final day. Was a nice way to show appreciation for everyone's time invested into the process.

Receive feedback and response regularly recruitment team is supportive and welcome through the whole process.

There are three parts of assessments, one for online assessment, one for group interview, one for one to two interviews.

1. Resume scanning through LiveHire - It offers a experience throughout the process 2. Video interview 3. Video game 4. Assessment centre 5. Final interview

A long and windy process, had to jump through a few hoops. But it seemed to have been for a good purpose.

The interview process I went through had four stages: 1. Submit application with resume and cover letter, 2. Recorded video response interview questions, 3. Psychometric test in the form of a pipe puzzle maze game to test analytical and problem-solving skills, and 4. In-person group interview (held virtually my year due to lockdown) with team-based problem-solving activities and an individual interview with two Cenitex people.

The Graduate Program interview process is very smoothy. It's easy to communicate with HR team. And the Assessment Day is great. Although it's online, there are interaction session with team leaders and previous Graduates.

there are stages, 1) Resume and cover letter/quick questions 2) online exam / quiz for checking mental processing, English, mathematical calculations. 3) self-recorded video for few questions about themself. 4) group discussions with other potential candidates 5) personal interview.

There were multiple rounds, starting from taking a few assessments to get our analyst mindsets out on paper/screen. Then we have a Full day assessment where in we went through a few rounds in which they gave us an opportunity to present a speech in front of everyone just like a presentation but without screen share and after that we were tested on team skills with a problem to solve and see if we are also good leaders while giving good solutions to the problem and also giving others good opportunity to say what they have to say and conclude.

First round -video interview Second round - online assessment Third round - assessment centre and final interview

Online application, interview, and assessment center.

During my recruitment I completed the following: - Cognitive & thinking skills assessment, - Recorded self-interview - Group assesment (Graduate program) - A virtual interview with 2 staff members.

-Submit resume & cover letter - Online capabilities assessment (logical, abstract, mathematical reasoning) - Assessment centre (group task, computer written timed-task, individual interview) - Formal offer and onboarding

Plenty of opportunity to practice your answers and get comfortable during the preliminary interview process where you record your answers to questions. The assessments were run well and so was the final interview, the interviewers created a comfortable atmosphere for me to be the best me. Good structure from application to final interview, nothing in there that was unexpected.

The interview process for Graduate role took a little bit long, including online test, video interview and one day assessment.

Online assessment followed by a group assessment and an interview.

The graduate program interview consists of both group activity and individual interview. An introduction and Q&A session is also provided in the interview process, which are quite helpful for understanding the organisation and the program.

Typical behavioural questions such as strengths and weaknesses, situations and scenarios etc.

Customer management related problems

There were a lot of questions, and it has been more than a year I done the interview so I don't remember specifics. But about my interests in tech, a lot of behavior questions regarding what I would do in certain situations or past experiences.

Standard interview questions. "How do you handle conflict?", "How do you work in teams?" and such.

Behavior questions: teamwork, time management, resolving a challenge situation

How do you deal with customers? What is your strengths?

Times I've taken initiative? Strengths and Weaknesses? Why do you want to work at Cenitex?

A lot about previous experience and in group situations and taking responsibility.

A couple questions I remember getting as part of my recorded video response interview are: - Can you provide an example of a time when you had to work without any guidance, use your own initiative, and conduct your own research and analysis? - Please describe a time when there was a sudden change in priorities and you had to adjust you approach accordingly? In your response, please detail what made the situation challenging, what steps you took to adjust and what you were able to achieve. - Can you provide an example of a time when you have managed a project or task that impacted on customers? Explain how you incorporated the customer needs into your plan.

What's your career plan? Why are you interested in this position?

Mostly questions were related to my personality and though processing. then there were few questions based on different situations like challenging time and how i tackled the situation.

After the Assessments there was a round of Interviews in which I was asked about my previous experiences if any or Internships and also University Projects. And then some behavioural questions regarding work.

Cannot recall

Questions about teamwork, and responding to certain situations. May also include technical questions depending on the role.

A lot around my goals and how i've been able to overcome things in the past, whether it be during uni or in my life or other employment. So there's a bit of emphasis on your ability to problem solve and think logically about what path or fix is going to give the best long term results for you, your relationships, and your organisation.

Introduction, your career plan and some regular behavior questions.

Questions around strength/ weakness

Tell me a time you had an issue with a team member Tell me a time you had to resolve a solution with technology Tell me about yourself

Can't recall.

5 years plan manage conflict Teamwork New technology adoption

Just be yourself and articulate your past experiences using the STAR method. You can also try participate as much as you can during the assessment center while ensuring that everyone in the group is able to comfortably voice their opinions. I also recommended coming in with questions to ask the hiring team as well.

Be open and confident.

My best advice is to be you and be honest. At Cenitex, they see us more than just a number so if you show your personality, be respectful and be open to collaborate with others, you will be a good fit.

Be yourself, research the company beforehand by checking out their website.

Prepare for common behavior questions

Understand the culture and value of the company and see if the company fits to them before applying to it. Thinking about your prior experience and how you could develop yourself and contribute to the team before the interview.

Be authentic, do your research on the company and the government sector.

Practice the STAR (situation, task, action, and result) which is the format Cenitex likes their questions to be answered in. If it's another format now, simply prepare well as they let you know what the format is. Also, bring in the mindset of being accountable, the public sector wants people who are willing to take charge/accountability and get things done.

Learn more about the company and services. Think about what you are passioned about and be confident.

Be inclusive of others in group discussion. don't try to stand out by putting others down. have a attitude to grow together as team.

After getting into the initial rounds just be you and try not copy others and come up with your own solutions in team tests and take out the leader in you and present confidently with proper practice beforehand. Do not be scared of the process as there will be fun activities in between the rounds as well. Ask a few questions about the company and departments and be ready to ask good questions about the role and company in the last interview

Be confident and be yourself.

Prepare some examples for the interview using STAR method. Be confident in interview and assessment centre. Don't be dominant in the assessment centre, be a good team player.

Peruse annual reports and get a good understanding of the organisations' values, what services they provide, and the culture. Link these aspects back to your own personal characteristics, mindset, and visions/motivations.

Leverage anything you can, learn about what a question is really asking, how is it valuable to the company and what is it that you've done that be used as an example here. It doesn't have to have extreme stakes on the line, demonstrate you did what the interviewer is looking for and you now understand how to apply that in the future. Transferrable skills are absolutely crucial. For the interviewing stages, REHEARSE, your ability to communicate your answer is as important if not more important than the answer, they clearly see you have the technical ability because you've passed on through to the interviewing stages. Now it's up to you to show your personality, that you're someone who is going to be able to bring value to the company and also get value out of the graduate program.

Prepare behavior questions and be confident.

Do your research about Cenitex prior to attending an interview.

It's hard to offer advice since the process seemed a lot easier than other companies. Everything was quite straight forward and the communication between the OD team during the graduate process was quite clear. If there was one recommendation I would give it would be a good idea to emphasise the importance of the group activity and give some tips to candidate at how they can do well for it.

1. Mock interview 2. do you own research about the company 3. Be yourself

Be patient and give your best in the sense where you shouldn't get confused with what is asked for and you act like you are someone else, so be you and show team building skills and also personal skills and you can easily have this position.
