Interview process was standard for auction houses. There were no trick questions, the conversation was pleasant, though the timeline was a bit drawn out. Had initial phone call, then a call with HR.
You would usually meet two people from the team. They would first ask you to introduce yourself and then to answer some questions. The first group of questions would be a bit more general about your experience and your skills. The second group would be more situational; they would ask you examples and to analyse some situations you might have encountered in your career.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bonhams (London, England) in Apr 2023
Interview
First interview positive, task in between which was about KYC checks which I didn't know about but very easy to find and provide correct info.
Second, longer interview with more STAR based questions very specific to role
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If a client complains about KYC checks and says they've worked with the auction house for years and never had to show ID before how would you handle the situation?
