Interview process was very informal
Graduate, Queenstown - 09 Nov 2023
Provide a very good interview process.
Graduate, Auckland - 09 Nov 2023
interview process is good, but it took a while to get feedback from HR
Graduate, Wellington - 09 Nov 2023
Slow, unorganised, and seem disinterested much of the time. Had to follow up. Almost didn't accept offer.
Graduate, Auckland - 09 Nov 2023
Causal meetings with real people where you are encouraged to be honest about abilities and expectations.
Graduate, New Plymouth - 09 Nov 2023
Graduate perspective - typically begins with a review of academic transcripts by HR team prior to hiring managers seeing the applicants. This is generally followed by selective interviews.
Graduate, Nelson - 09 Nov 2023
Not too daunting which is good
Graduate, Auckland - 09 Nov 2023
For graduates:
Online application -> Video interview -> Offer of place

The interview was conducted well, but in hearing I got the job it would have been nice to have a phone call rather than an email - these days you get emails for everything and if I wasn't looking out for it I would have missed it.

I was hired out of sync with the graduate intake which made the process streamlined. I had an hour zoom call and a coffee catch up meeting with my team lead then was offered the job.

I did an online application to submit my CV, cover letter and answer questions. After that, I was invited to do an online recorded video interview, which involved recording my responses to questions. The next stage was an in-person interview and assessment centre at the WSP office, which took half a day.
I did not feel very prepared for the in-person interview as I had no idea what role I was being interviewed for and who my interviewers were. The assessment centre involved collaborating with other candidates on a problem solving activity and giving a short presentation on the findings and solution. I liked interacting with the other candidates as it simulated a real life team problem solving situation.
The interview process and assessment I experienced took place in early/mid 2021. I believe the current interview process and assessments may now be done slightly differently.

To be honest, that interview was much easier than I imagined. (also compare to other interviews I got before)
The interviewer (also my current manager) was quite nice.
Graduate, Wellington - 26 Oct 2023
Application, online test, in-person interview
Graduate, Christchurch - 26 Oct 2023
Interview was rescheduled 5 times, couple times less than an hour prior. Urgency due to other job offers was not communicated to hiring manager. Team leader didn't attend my interview or contact me at all until the day before I started.

Seems pretty standard. You send your CV and cover letter. If you make the following stage, you get sent a link to do answer two questions via video where you don't know the question till you start recording and only get 1 re-attempt (a bit cruel for those who panic but it seems to be an easy way to get a feel of people without having to organise anything). The ?nal stage if your video goes well is the interviews which is the standard hiring questions, but WSP do have an interviewer guide/ key point to follow with a score card with descriptions while interviewing. This makes interviews more consistent despite having di?erent interviewers.

Psychometric test was challenging and may not be the best way to weed out candidates. Graduate interview day was enjoyable.
Graduate, Christchurch - 25 Oct 2023
My hiring experience was good, but when I have done interviews for interns not all of the provided questions were relevant.
Graduate, Hamilton - 25 Oct 2023
WSP had one of the more smoother application processes among the companies I applied for post graduation. I initially ?lled out the online application form. A few days later I got an email that I had advanced to the next stage which was to record some videos for a one way interview. There were 3 question prompts where I was then given a timer of about a minute to record my answer. I really appreciated WSP giving you the option to re-record your answers. With other company applications, there were instances of only having one take to record your answer where if you made a mistake you couldn't retake it. A few days passed where I then had a direct video call interview with my manager and a member of the team who I would be working with should my application be successful.
