I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Leeds, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
Initial telephone screening - no preparation requires.
Video interview - my recruiter actually told me what questions would come up so I was fully prepared in advance.
Assessment centre - three rounds of competency and strengths based interviews followed by an IT test, maths test and a set notation test.
The whole interview process is laughably easy. (they asked us to calculate 7 squared! - I have a masters in Maths!) They are NOT looking for people who can think off their own accord or have any other ambitions outside FDM. They are looking for low achieving graduates who NEED training.

First, the day after I submitted my resume, they called me to make an appointment for phone interview and asked me about basic information like school, major, interests.
