Hi Everyone!

I have been contacted by a recruiter for about a week ago for a job posting in ADIA.

I was interested with the post so I gave my cv.

Till today, I have yet to receive a feedback.

My question is, what is the normal turnaround before ADIA gives the go signal to the recruiter to progress with one's application?

Thanks!

It could take weeks before VC can be scheduled.

Did anyone have to do case study/ presentation to 5-6 people after Korn Ferry/PDI, but before asking them to visit AD for face to face rounds?

Government organisations are slow to recruit. The recruitment agency should be providing with you with feedback, however what you should be asking said recruiter is whether you have been shortlisted for said role

For those are considering or might have questions, here's what I learned:

- they start with a few (I did 4) VC interviews; some general and some technical
- after you pass them all, they send you to New York for the psych assessment, it was about 7 hours long. 1 hour interview, math test, English test, Ravens test, 2 business scenarios
Prior to this though, you have to complete a 300 question survey (mandatory)
- after that, they send you to Abu Dhabi for face to face interviews (they send both my wife and I, business class, about 5 days long, accommodation and food included)

Like others have said, the hardest part about the psych test is the time limit, you find that you will not have time to recheck your answers

PS - I'm applying for a role in IT

I will post back when I return from the face to face interviews
Did you get an offer?

Hi Walterthetraveler123,

What position you applied for? Are you done with tests and interviews?

Somebody posted salary for P3 (google it) so I assume P4 will be 15-20% higher to that.

People who interviewed/completed tests in December/early this year have heard back yet from them?

I did my KF assessment in mid-March, had a review of the results about 10 days later and then had another interview with a pretty senior level guy at ADIA a couple days after that. It's been a couple weeks since then and I've heard nothing. I know patience is key with this process but this two weeks of silence has me a bit anxious.

What position did you apply for? Was the interview with senior guy face to face or VC?

It’s for a management role in real estate. The interview was on the phone.

What are you applying for?

How did you find the assessment experience? I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Role in middle office.

It was good experience but verbal reasoning did not have enough time in my opinion. Role-play exercises were okay, but you never know what exactly they are looking for and might ding you for not presenting your case in the way they want.

Hoping to hear back soon from them about next steps. Let's see.

I found the three tests much easier than I expected. I was expecting harder questions and more of a time crunch. The role playing was a bit uncomfortable but I figured just be myself and see what happens.
