Instructions

You are to complete approximately 1 hour of trial work exercises to assess your suitability for this role.

No feedback should be given either way on the 1-hour work contract, regardless of the outcome. This is just a way to pay you for your time in completing the assessment, which is longer than an interview would normally be.

I Am Interested In…

How quickly and how well you complete the tasks

But even more so how well you talk through what you are doing as you are doing it

→ I need to hear you talking through your thinking and reasoning step by step as you go throughout doing the tasks

just like you had to “show your working” during maths classes at school rather than just write down the answer

this doesn’t mean you need to read out loud everything you are reading, instead that you need to give me your thoughts and understanding

this is especially important if you encounter anything challenging or aren’t sure what to do → talk me through how you are understanding the situation

Check Your Loom Account

To record a 1 hour Loom video, you need to be on the 14-day free trial (no payment details are needed to start the trial). Free accounts otherwise can only record 5 minutes max.

If you created your Loom account within the last 14 days, check on your account in the top-right that it says “Current plan: Business” → great, good to go.

⁠

⁠

Otherwise you will need to use another email address to create a new account to get the Loom Business trial, so you can record videos that are over 5 minutes in length. Check that your new account shows Current plan: Business.

Start Recording with Loom

I highly recommend downloading the Windows app of Loom instead of using the browser

Start a test recording on Loom

Make sure you record your full screen in the video

Make sure your webcam image appears in a bubble in the bottom left of the screen

Make sure your mic is working

Ensure you choose the correct mic input when recording on Loom → it can default to the one on your computer which is not the one for your headset

Make sure you are speaking loudly and clearly enough to be heard

If you use Loom from your browser instead of the app, at the end you need to keep the Loom tab in your browser open for it to upload your video - don’t close it before it’s done

Check the test recording after you finish it

you should be able to see your desktop, your webcam image, and hear yourself clearly in the video

Ready to do the 1 hour of tasks?

This is an exam-style setup

you are not allowed to review the tasks first and prepare your response before you start the Loom recording

you cannot restart recording or redo anything after you start

you must not pause the recording

you must submit the link to your video right at the end of the hour

Start Loom recording now (full screen and webcam in the corner)

And get the task instructions on this link:

Open the onetimesecret link you were given along with the link to this document

Use the password candidlyfaucet

You will then be able to see the link to the task instructions

It will say “This message is for you:”→ copy and paste the link shown immediately below into a new browser window

YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO VIEW THE LINK ON THE

ONETIMESECRET.COM⁠

page one time

Keep a copy of the link in case you accidentally close it later

The time when you view the link is recorded and the video you submit should be exactly one hour after. If you do not forward your video in time your application will sadly not be successful.

Remember to talk through what you are doing and why as you are doing it

you do not need to read out loud everything you are reading, focus on your thoughts and understanding

Good luck!
