Application Process & Interviews at RAA

Please describe the interview process and assessments.
It was very good for the most part and the hiring staff were excellent in accommodating me and my need however there were some instances where certain interviews weren't necessary. However I've heard these have been removed for new applicants.
Graduate, Adelaide
After submitting an online application (which was very straightforward), I was given a problem-solving assessment to do. The assessment has been taken out since. This was followed by a video interview where I recorded myself giving answers to the questions on the screen. The step was fairly easy as I was given sufficient time to prepare and think before recording. I had met the manager at a careers expo before applying and had suggested to be authentic in the application process which helped me not be so nervous. The first interview was through teams with my direct manager and someone from HR. I don't remember being scared at all, they made me feel at ease and the tone was more conversational than interrogative. The final interview was with the senior manager and the early talent consultant, and it was the same as one before. Instead of testing us, they just wanted to know the candidates better.

The process for the graduate program has changed since I was interviewed. Currently, it involves a pre-recorded video interview and then a second interview that is mostly in-person.

The interview process when I started was longer than what it currently is. I went through recorded interviews, an online interview, an online assessment (which was like flash games), an in-person interview, and a IRIS interview. I believe now it is just an online and in-person interview.

What questions were you asked in your interviews?
My current knowledge in the cyber security space. How I feel about certain things. What is my style of work.
Graduate, Adelaide
The interview questions aimed to know more about the transferrable skills and the basic knowledge and skillset for the role. I was asked about having to work in teams, navigating differences in opinions and other conflicts. I was also asked if I had worked with large datasets and how did the process look like e.g. cleaning, analysis, etc. Both interviews had the 'why this company/role' question as well.

Tell me a bit about yourself, what are your hobbies, what will I be doing before I start working fulltime (as I had already graduated uni), explain a recent uni project, whether I can talk about maths concepts in high level

Do you have any specific tips and advice for candidates applying to your company? How would you recommend they best prepare?
I recommend candidates do research on the advocacy work the company does as well as company history.

The biggest tip would be to be authentic and ensure you highlight how your values align with that of the company. Raa is big on their values and seek out people who match these to ensure they will be a good fit and that the company will be a good fit for them. As for the graduate program, they seek people with retail/hospitality experience as they tend to have a lot of transferable skills so do not leave that out of your resume. Having previous experience in the field is not at all essential, don't be put off by your lack of experience as that is the exact kind of person the company seeks in graduate programs.

RAA is looking to hire someone who reflects the company values, so make sure you know what they are and have examples of how you have demonstrated them in your personal life.

Practice interview questions beforehand - try using the STAR technique. Be genuine and be yourself. Research RAA's values on their website and try to explain how you embody those values when answering questions. If you don't know an answer, say you don't know (much better than making something up). Prepare questions to ask them. Read any documentation they send you beforehand to prepare for the interview.
