I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Network Rail
Interview
General application form followed by a psychometric game which was an app that I downloaded on to my phone. This was followed by a video interview.
The app was good and an a more interesting way of testing than other companies. Video interview was all situational based questions.
Communication was pretty poor at every stage of the process. No updates via email were sent and I had to keep logging into their portal to see if there were any changes to my application. No updates at all were given for 3 months after I had completed the video interview until my final rejection. I think Network Rail need to improve on this aspect of their application process as it did not make me feel like my effort to apply was valued in any way.

You already have a deadline from your line manager but another more senior colleague has requested your assistance on a different project which will impact on your deadline. How do you proceed?
Online test and interview. The same tests as many other public sector grad schemes like NHS, BII etc. This means you can practice it and have a go at it before you actually do it for the first time
Hiring stage online assessment and video interview: it was very simple and easy to understand. Hiring stage involves the registration, online assessment, video interview, assessment centre, offer. You may need a lot of practice for the logical tests
