Interview process was drawn out with long periods of no contact.
Graduate, Brisbane
After submitting my application, I completed some online testing, did two interviews, and completed a police check. I was reimbursed promptly for the price of the police check, and the interview process was very friendly and flexible.
Graduate, Canberra
Communication was not fantastic through this process, not a lot of information was provided to shed light on the process of joining a company in defence industry. Although it wouldn't have made a difference in my decision, it did feel like I was flying blind when leaving my previous job and beginning here.
Graduate, Melbourne
The interview process was quite relaxing. I has some IT issues when joining the online interview, and my interviewing panel did a really great job at reassuring me that everything would be ok. It was quite a relaxed experience, and it felt more like an informal chat, than it did an in-depth interview.
Additionally, there is a psychometric test to do which was a very insightful test as it showed what we are like in work and as a person, and strategies to improve.
Graduate, Melbourne
The process was good, however there was a large wait time during the time I got hired.
Graduate, Melbourne
A bit too lengthy between contact.
I'm no expert when it comes to security and background checks, and I can understand it does need to be taken seriously when Grads will be attending client site under Nova's banner.
But.
I can see that the time it takes to get sorted is not from everyone and can put off most people.
Job hunting, I had placed my interest in other places during this time and had almost written off Nova during some point.
Graduate, Canberra
Phone interview to start with and then an interview Panel with two experienced members of the company and a graduate.
The Testing was interesting but failed to see relevance to role as it was optional to get the results from the physiatrist.
Graduate, Other (Please specify) - Williamtown
The hiring process was long, with many stages to pass.
I'd like the hiring team to be more responsive with updates on each stage (in terms of wait time).
Graduate, Brisbane
From memory, we had a 15min phone interview, followed by a 45min-1hr interview. Then was a psychometric assessment before o_ers were sent out.
Graduate, Melbourne
Interview process really focuses on the individual and the culture fit. Requires written application, a phone interview and virtual interview
Graduate, Brisbane
Process from what I can recall went something like:
- Catch up with a current grad
- Interview with a manager and an ex grad
- Online assessment
Graduate, Canberra
Virtual interview, and online assessment.
Graduate, Canberra
One phone call from HR/Early Careers. Two separate video calls from a current graduate and a project lead.
Graduate, Canberra
The hiring process was very standard. Stage one was a CV and cover letter. This was followed by a phone interview, then a face-to-face video interview. Final stage was a background/police check, then offers.
Graduate, Brisbane
The process itself was fine, but there were very big delays in between each stage of hiring and there was no update while waiting. So just sitting and waiting to know if we've progressed.
Graduate, Melbourne
The interview process was very formal and appropriate despite taking 5 months from application to job offer. I had phone interviews, video interviews and psychological assessments.
Graduate, Melbourne
We had a 'chat with a grad', a phone interview with a manager, then a video interview with a manager and a grad. Each interview progressed from less to more formal, but all felt relaxed. The interview questions were fairly standard and there were no technical assessments.
One thing that could be done better is progressing our applications quicker. I was fortunate in that Nova was the company I really wanted to work for, so I didn't apply to any other grad programs, but we didn't receive out outcome until around Oct I believe, so if I had wanted to have back up companies it would have been difficult as it was so late in the year, and many companies required an answer earlier in the year.
Graduate, Melbourne
Very conversational type of interview which helped my to relax and be myself
Graduate, Adelaide
A phone interview with a HR rep, then a zoom interview with a current grad and a hiring manager.
Graduate, Melbourne
These differ per level, but i like how the panel is selected from a range of candidates.
Graduate, Canberra
