Tips from the inside

They choose you, you choose them

Hiring at Detica is a “straightforward process involving one telephone interview, followed by two face-to-face”.  The first on-site interview is an hour long, followed by a two-hour session that “requires the delivery of a presentation of the candidate’s choice” relating to the firm’s business and demonstrating their skills and experience.  This is backed up by “technical questions and a case study, which is used to test a candidate’s ability to think on his toes”.
