Interviews at Mo-Sys are quite informal and conversational, generally carried out over a three stage process. The final stage usually involves meeting with senior members of the leadership team at our office in North Greenwich, London.
To gain insight into your workplace behaviours and preferences, we will invite you to complete a brief Predictive Index (PI) Behavioural and Cognitive Assessment (online) as part of this interview process. Discussing these results with Jurga, our Chief of Staff will help us to learn more about you as a person, and it will help you to determine whether Mo-Sys is the right fit for you – it’s a win-win!
