Anonymised CV Review
Our first stage is the CV review. We prioritise fairness and impartiality, so we conduct an anonymised review of your CV. This approach ensures that our focus is solely on your skills and experiences, without any unconscious bias.
The Timeline
Recruiter Screen with Sally, Our People and Talent Lead:
After the CV review, you will have an initial call with Sally, our People and Talent Lead. This conversation is an opportunity for us to learn more about your professional background, your motivations for joining Puraffinity, and your career aspirations. It's also a great chance for you to get to know us better. We understand this is a 2-way process and we want you to ask any questions you have that will help you decide if this is the right company and role for you.
Behavioural Interview:
Next, you'll participate in a behavioural interview, where you'll be asked questions that align with our core values: Collaboration - Team First, Empathy, Adaptability, and Initiative. This stage helps us understand how well you align with our company culture and values.
Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ):
Conducted by our HR consultancy partner, this phase involves completing the OPQ. This insightful questionnaire delves into various aspects of your personality and work style. You'll also have a 30-minute session with the HR Consultancy to explore your results in more depth.
Technical Interview and Office Tour:
The final stage is a technical interview. If you can travel to our London office, this will include a tour of our offices and lab. To ensure a meaningful and comfortable experience, we will share the technical questions with you beforehand. Our aim is to understand how you assess how you approach and think through challenges, rather than assessing your ability to think quickly under pressure. You can either present your answers or discuss them with the interviewers, either format works well for us, and we want you to choose which option you feel most comfortable with.
For some roles, we will have the technical interview before the behavioural interview, if this is the case we will confirm this with you at the recruiter screen stage.
Inclusivity and Accommodations: At Puraffinity, inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to create an interview process that is accessible and accommodating to all. We are committed to providing every candidate with the best possible opportunity to demonstrate their suitability for the role. If you require any reasonable adjustments or have specific needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Sally at sally@puraffinity.com. Your comfort and ability to perform to your best are important to us.
We look forward to your participation in this interview process at Puraffinity, where your skills, potential, and personality are given the forefront they deserve.
