Application Process & Interviews at Alluvium Group

Sometimes 2 set of interviews and through LinkedIn/Seek

I felt extremely comfortable during the interview process. The two people who interviewed me were kind, respectful, and warm, putting me at ease from the get-go. It was a one-on-one interview, and rather relaxed in design. It involved me answering a number of questions, and then describing what I would like from working at Alluvium, and then what Alluvium is needing from the person who fills the position, to explore if there was a good fit between us.

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 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.

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.

About my analytical skills / and other tech skills Understanding and passion about the subjects

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.

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.

Be honest with your interviewers.

Being truthful to what they can, or their skills can offer Understanding how collaborative work would be in office settings Having GIS skills will be a plus

Think about what it is YOU want from your workplace, particularly in term of the type or style of work you would like to do or would like to learn how to do. Be able to articulate this well, so you can give the interviewers a clear picture of what you can offer them so that they can assess if there is a place for you that would be a good fit. You are unlikely to be asked technical questions, Alluvium is more interested in your enthusiasm/curiosity, your values, and your desire to do high quality and interesting environmental work.

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.

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

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