Application Process & Interviews at Baker Tilly Staples Rodway

The interview process is smooth and the best out of all companies I applied for. Once applied, there will be an online assessment and then interview with the Partner and Manager. Received a job offer 3 days later. No video interview.

Just the psychometric testing, interview and that's it :) Very easy and nice

Handed in a CV, did an interview and did a quiz then got offered the job through phone call. Very simple and easy.

The process is relatively quick.

Online tests, one in-person interview

Online, interview.

Applied online then got contacted for an interview

Very straight forward

In person interview

The interview process was great, everyone is friendly to you and HR, who looks after you during that time, are amazing.

Very transparent and quick response. You can expect a phone call from HR the next day you submitted your application. It depends on when the interview is scheduled and took me 2-3 weeks from the application to the job offer, but overall I am very satisfied with the process.

normally two interviewers rather relaxed. they've seen your grades and know you are at base level knowledge so just want to get to know who you are more than anything.

The Interview process was excellent, there was one interview for me with a director (partner) and a senior manager, who gave me great insight into the jobs day to day responsibilities. I can't recall the specifics of the assessments as I was doing lots of them at the time. I was alerted a few days later after the interview regarding the job offer.

During Covid restrictions therefore had an online interview and online cognitive test.

Interview process was quite straight forward. Had to submit a cover letter and CV and indicate which service line I was interested in. Once I did that, I did some psychometric tests. Within a week I was asked to have an interview.

Interview is usually done with Senior Manager above, and could include directors as well. Interviewing process is pretty chill, just feels like a conversation.

It was conversational and didn't get any technical questions which I was super relieved. They asked me things like what is my background, what I do in my free time, the experience around team-involved situation and so on.

not much was asked about accounting, it was mostly questions to get to know me.

Applying early, turning up on time and just be genuine

focus on learning about company culture and how this reflects own personal and professional decisions.

Dress well and smile, have a point of difference

Just be true to yourself and be professional but don't be too professional

Be yourself. They just want to know about you.

Be yourself, come prepared with CV and be prepared to expand on that. More of a conversation rather than an interview which is good so just relax

Research the company before going in, just be yourself they are really friendly

If you can, definitely start from intern. It will be so helpful to understand the people and the work involved. Prepare the interviews for questions like teamwork (e.g. group assignment at uni), your passion for the job, and show your communication skills that you can talk with people!

Honestly just don't over think anything. The in person interview is there to get to know you so just be you and be true.

Do some research on the company and come with questions prepared.

Research the company prior, know what they do and when certain milestones were achieved in the businesses history.

Be yourself! I felt that they want to know about you as a person and how you operate rather than what you know. Having past job experience (not necessarily in the accounting field) is advantageous as it shows that you can work in teams.

Be genuine with your responses, it's more about seeing whether you would be a good fit for the company and in my opinion it comes down to 1. what kind of a person you are & 2. how committed you are or would be to the role once you jump into it.
