I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at biomodal (Saffron Walden, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
Brilliant screener, then the Hiring Manager interview was a little awkward (I was nervous) but we agreed to progress to a F2F panel. Got a very good impression of the team and the HR function.
Then, out of nowhere my application was cancelled by an unnamed member of the leadership team citing the distance between my home and the office. This was not raised as an issue at the earlier stages, and I had evidence on my CV of hybrid working for 3+ years in the same location.
Obviously, it is fine for hiring teams to change their mind mid-process, but the way the application was pulled without any warning, and no chance to discuss it was inconsiderate to say the least. For all they know I was in the process of moving closer, or had identified accommodation for the couple of nights a week required.

Question 1
Why do you want this job? It’s a step down from your last role.
Good interview, pleasant staff. Very responsive during the process and had answered any queries swiftly and honestly. Would recommend as a place to interview and recommend that anyone interested sends an application.

Interview
The interview was poorly structured. One of the interviewer turned up late. I did not hear anything back from them. No courtesy of getting back to candidate with a feedback. Waste of time and effort.
