Application Process & Interviews at Alluvium Group

For me it was a unique process I feel as they were urgently needing someone so the process was fast. But it was a two stage process with two formal interviews (on teams), where the first was a standard interview while the other was a logical/theory based interview.

I was referred to the company by a person at my university. After a couple of emails, I was offered a Teams interview due to one of my interviewers being in a different state. It was a half-hour conversation with some of the senior staff. Then, I was emailed an offer.

I was recommended to Alluvium through my previous internship manager; therefore, it may be different for other graduates. There is a less rigid interview process compared to other consultancies that have external application portals and cognitive ability tests.

I was hired in a less formal way which I really liked, this involved going for a walk and coffee with a manager and chatting about my uni experiences and what type of work I was looking for, I was hired a week later. Unsure of the more formal process.

I was asked about my experience, the kinds of tasks I was good at, my salary expectations and the number of days I'd like to work.

What is your background? What kinds of experiences have you had? What do you know about Alluvium? Why are you interested in the water industry?

The chat was very conversational, can't think of specific questions. We spoke about my university degree, what I had enjoyed, what I was interested in and what work I was looking for.

Be confident, comfortable, friendly but for the engineering role be smart, technical and logical.

Be honest in your answers rather than saying what you think they want to hear.

Check whether they have done something similar to what the company is doing. If so, bring them up while doing the interview.

Know what sparks your interest and ask questions to find out as much information as possible about the role.
