We Hired Lara!

Our successful candidate during our experiment in 'doing recruitment differently' was Lara! Here you can find examples of their submissions for the application stages during the process.

Application Stage Tasks

Stage 1: Expression Of Interest

(1) A couple of pages letting us know what’s led you to apply for this role, what excites you about working with us, and what relevant experience you bring.

(2) A short example of some comms you think CIA could put out into the world that demonstrates your comms ability. 

Stage 2: Practical Task

Turn the audio and transcript of a c.20 minute discussion into a blog post, visual or video

  • Lara's video (coming soon)

Stage 3: Interview

Co-design the interview with us, send us questions (to ask you or ones you'd like us to answer)!

  • Lara's questions:

  1. Did you find the hidden “Easter eggs” in my letter? What did you think?    

  2. How would you have approached the task? 

  3. What do you need in order to be at your best?

  4. Was there anything you personally felt didn’t work in the video, and why?   

  5. What interview question was your favourite to ask people when you were hiring? 

  6. Do you have a favourite social media platform and, if so, why?
