Question 1
Changing scope significantly mid-execution while keeping project on track
Recruiter contacted me via email to set up time to interview. I had 3 interviews set up over 2 days.
My first interviewer never showed up. I emailed the recruiter and received NO response. I had my 2nd and 3rd interviews which we standard. Both asked me what I had been told about the role - seems as though there was a step missing or no communication between these interviewers. I emailed the recruiter again to rescheduled the first interview and to follow up - received no response. The people I did speak with were great and I enjoyed my conversations. The recruiter no responding was unprofessional. I know recruiters may ghost after an interview. But when a candidate has interviews scheduled and to not acknowledge or respond is unprofessional.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself - how do you relate to the role - most interesting project so far - what have your other roles been like - big challenge
Pretty straight forward interview process, where you are asked to talk through your cv. Usually four stages but can be more. Depending on interviewer, technical questions may arise.
