Application Process & Interviews at Stockland

Psychometric testing, phone call to verify information, interview

Video interview, online assessment, in person interview, background checks and offer

Online assessments before progressing to online interview.

The interview process was thorough. Psychometrics assessment was extremely challenging, however this is the general consensus of the majority who complete this. hiring managers made me feel welcome and allowed me to express my experiences and opinions within interviews.

I wore a jacket that cost me $30 and I had pants that I had to remove the lint from the night before my interview. I was afraid they would not select me at first based on how I looked. I had two interviews. The interviewers (Hayden, Niamh, Andrew, and David) were amazing. When I answered, they replied, "Good Answer". When I asked them a question, they would say "Good Question". Any amount of nervousness that I had before going into the interview dissipated almost as soon as the conversation began. It did not feel like an interview at all but a genuine conversation. When I told my friends about how friendly the interviewers were, they were amazed. They were respectful and genuine. They answered my questions about the company very honestly, and my experience at the company now has beaten my expectations by a great deal.

I was impressed with complexity of the hiring process: skills test, video interview, in person interview. Because it means Stockland is putting in the effort to make sure they hire the right people.

I submitted my CV online and filled out an application. Then, I completed a psychometric test which included personality questions and puzzle-type problem solving questions. Then, there was an online interview where we had to submit a video of our response to questions. Next, there was an in-person interview with 2 finance managers. Finally, I went through the reference check process and received my outcome.

Multiple stages including online assessments, one-way interview and in person interview

The interview/application process is very stringent, I am not going to lie. But only rightfully so to ensure the company only hires the best and most passionate people for the roles.

Simple and straight forward

Started with a video interview where you answer pre-recorded questions and provide answers. Also complete behavioural and puzzle type questions. Then you complete 2 separate in person interviews (although for me it was during covid so it was over Teams) with team managers.

The hiring process has changed since we joined. It used to be application, psychometric testing, self-record interview, 2 person panel interview. I found it fine, but i know alot of people who did not enjoy the psychometric testing.

The interview process was very straightforward and I was updated consistently throughout.

Psychometric testing, one interview

Application. Recorded online interview (respond to questions yourself). Psychometric testing. Online Interview (2 x interviewers) (note that this was 2021 and they now do interviews in the head office)

Pretty good. Not too lengthy, one of the simplest interview/assessment processes I went through when applying for grad programs

I did an online assessment (math + video) and then an online interview with managers

Online assessments, virtual recorded interviews, in-person interviews with hiring managers. Overall fairly standard but the interviewers made you feel comfortable.

General information about me Give me a time when.. Skills, weakness, why I would be good for the role ect.

Why you chose to apply and lots of name a time when you were had to overcome a challenge type questions

I do remember there were behavioural questions followed by questions about my technical knowledge. I got asked questions relating to Linux and IT problem diagnosis in my first interview and Python and SQL questions in my second interview.

Questions about my studies, previous corporate job and behavioral questions

Previous experiences, work attitudes, ambitions

Mostly getting to know me as a person and as a professional, not so much technical questions. I feel like they were really trying to see if I fit into the company and vice versa.

Why stockland, tell us abit about yourself, why people and culture

The questions were generally behavioural focused; eg Tell us how in your previous role you dealt with conflicting stakeholders. There were also the usual questions of background education, experience, why I am applying for the role, etc.

Pretty much all behavioural questions - "what did you do in X situation" "how did you respond"

The majority of questions I have been asked in interviews have been related to personal aspirations and passions. This made Stockland stand out as a company that is genuinely invested in its people to create great results.

Why would you like to work at the company? Can you tell us what you know about the company?

A few were: Why stockland, my previous experience and how I can use it to benefit me in the grad program, which areas of P&C i'm interested in

Why this company; what is your fav subjects etc

Behavioural based questions such as: - how have you dealt with multiple conflicting stakeholders before - what would you do with deadlines coming up and not being able to complete all tasks

Be authentic

Know the company and know why you want to work for them and why you would be a good fit

Have the right attitude, know why you want to work here.

Be genuine. People here respect you. I come from a weak financial background. I was honest to the interviewers about everything. Despite the fact that I had not done relevant internships before joining, they gave me chance to join this amazing company. Tell your story :) The company's CARE values are reflected in everyone's work and behaviour here at Stockland. So definitely demonstrate you have an interest in these values.

Be friendly and confident in yourself and what you can bring to the company

I would recommend that they search up typical graduate program interview questions online and draft up their responses with clear examples, using their past work experience or even uni assignments. Ask friends who are also applying for graduate programs about the kinds of questions they get asked. Practise by asking friends to interview you so that you learn to think and apply your relevant experiences to answer the question on the spot. Research about the company and have questions ready to ask your interviewers.

Just be yourself and be honest about what you want to achieve personally and professionally, and how the company will help you get there. And be humble.

Be yourself - will help in ensuring it's a right culture match be honest and upfront about your expectations of the role/opportunities you are seeking etc.

Do some research on the company so you know some of the projects they are working on. It shows you have interest in the company. It is also important to be very personable, able to have a joke and don't just rote-learn what you are going to say as the conversation will flow and you can pick up what the interviewers are trying to hear. Finally, when you are finishing up always ask a question based on what you have heard in the interview. It shows interest and ability to comprehend what has gone on.

Research Stockland - knowing the company looks better than any other preparation. Look back on your career/jobs so far and think of behavioural questions that relate to specific examples. E.g., name a time you had to work as a team - think of a good example.

Be clear on where your passions lay.

Research the company and know exactly why you want to work here

Look back on your early career and the experiences you have had and how you responded.

Be yourself, do your research on the company/values etc. and ask the interviewers questions to better understand the work culture/company etc.

Research the company; understand why this role fits your purpose

Do your research on the company, know about the history, some of the work they do. Also, prepare answers for common questions that are asked in interviews and show how those could be linked to the company in terms of vision, slogan, values.
