We are currently conducting interviews remotely and using a platforms such as WebEx and Microsoft Teams to facilitate recruitment.

We have also created a remote interviewing help sheet, to prepare for your interview which can be found here.
WebEx
Here is some hints and tips when using WebEx and troubleshoot any issues.
- If you do not have strong Wi-Fi - lower video quality or turn off your web camera, and better yet, share your content before the call.
- Close unnecessary applications - audio and video competes for the same resources and under pressure will impact the quality of your collaboration experience. WebEx Meetings has health indicators at the top right-hand corner (on latest versions of WebEx).
- If you have no Wi-Fi - use the direct dial numbers for your meeting, which you can find in the invite.
