11. 0:20growth while it's never compromising on
12. 0:22our core values nor on our high
13. 0:26standards one of the skills we value
14. 0:28most at revolute is problem solving the
15. 0:31ability to solve complex problems with
16. 0:32Simple Solutions forms part of our DNA
17. 0:35and this video will give you a great
18. 0:37understanding of what to expect in this
19. 0:38interview so at this stage you're
20. 0:39probably asking how do we use this
21. 0:41interview to assess for this skill of
22. 0:42problem solving we're looking to assess
23. 0:44principally three things people being
24. 0:46structured thinkers people who use a
25. 0:48data driven approach when coming up with
26. 0:50Solutions and people who are able to
27. 0:51solve new challenges and new problems
28. 0:53that may face as a hypergrowth
29. 0:56company we want you to feel really well
30. 0:59prepared so what's going to happen well
31. 1:02your interviewer is going to log in and
32. 1:04introduce themselves they're a senior
33. 1:06member of our team and a proven problem
34. 1:07Sol already you're in safe hands they
35. 1:10might also ask you to introduce yourself
36. 1:12think about a two-minute pitch of who
37. 1:13you are and what makes you amazing then
38. 1:16they're going to introduce the problem
39. 1:18and that's all about something that
40. 1:19we've either solved before or that's a
41. 1:21hypothetical and we're going to ask you
42. 1:23to solve
43. 1:28it my problem solving interview was
44. 1:31quite unique it was a case that I'd
45. 1:32never experienced before or an industry
46. 1:34I'd ever worked in for me I started by
47. 1:36breaking down the problem into different
48. 1:38sections and areas and looking at the
49. 1:40key data given to me and it felt like a
50. 1:42casual conversation that I was having
51. 1:43with my interviewer I was always asking
52. 1:45questions to Deep dive further into what
53. 1:47are the metrics what the actual problem
54. 1:49is and how to break it down anecdotally
55. 1:51for me to
56. 1:53protest so in terms of my experience
57. 1:55with the problem solving interview the
58. 1:57biggest thing I would say is not coming
59. 1:59over prepar
60. 2:00the problem solving itself might not be
61. 2:02related to your normal field the whole
62. 2:04point of the exercise is for you to ask
63. 2:06those questions start to understand the
64. 2:08problem dive a little bit deeper and
65. 2:10then start to connect to the dots in
66. 2:12terms of bringing forward what that
67. 2:13solution might be be confident for me
68. 2:16always break down the problems into a
69. 2:18strategical method where you could
70. 2:20process what is happening and how to
71. 2:21deliver and leverage the data given to
72. 2:23you to answer the key statement at hand
73. 2:26and also not to be afraid of probing and
74. 2:28asking further questions to get more
75. 2:31information 100% problem solving helps
76. 2:33me my day-to-day work quite often as a
77. 2:35HR generalist I work with lots of
78. 2:37different departments lots of different
79. 2:39functions one of the main aspects that
80. 2:41I'm involved in is understanding what
81. 2:43that problem is asking those questions
82. 2:45to dive a little bit deeper into what
83. 2:47the impact is on the business what the
84. 2:48impact is on the department and then
85. 2:50working collaboratively towards what a
86. 2:52strategic solution might look for in
87. 2:54terms of a business
88. 2:56output so what are the critical
89. 2:59components to being successful in this
90. 3:01interview take control you're not going
91. 3:04to get any information that you don't
92. 3:05ask for your interviewer is here to
93. 3:07facilitate the discussion and to help
94. 3:09you ultimately come to a problem
95. 3:11breakdown that creates really good
96. 3:13Solutions so make sure that you're
97. 3:15asking really good robust questions and
98. 3:17you're digging really deep via your
99. 3:19interviewer be structured when you're
100. 3:22looking for that data make sure that
101. 3:24you've broken the problem down into
102. 3:25component parts you understand what the
103. 3:28goal is that you have in mind and that
104. 3:29you've gone all the way down into the
105. 3:31root cause of each of the component
106. 3:33parts that you want to understand be
107. 3:37really clear make sure that you have the
108. 3:40goal in mind and the why what exactly is
109. 3:43it that's driving you to the solution
110. 3:45what do you really want to understand to
111. 3:47make sure that it's the best solution it
112. 3:49can possibly be and remember there's no
113. 3:52right way to do this if you need to stop
114. 3:54and restart that's absolutely fine and
115. 3:56if you feel like you're off on the wrong
116. 3:57track come right back onto it don't
117. 3:59worry if it's not exactly what you
118. 4:01wanted it to
119. 4:03be what we look for or observe is a
120. 4:06candidate's ability to take a step back
121. 4:09um to think about the problem and how
122. 4:10they approach it in a measured and
123. 4:12calculated way and also that they break
124. 4:14it down into its component parts and
125. 4:16tackle each of those component parts
126. 4:18either sequentially or in parallel uh
127. 4:20and finally we observe their ability to
128. 4:22sum up or summarize terms of their
129. 4:24conclusion and how they've reached that
130. 4:26conclusion we see the intersect between
131. 4:29har skills and problem solving ability
132. 4:31on a day-to-day basis but how we assess
133. 4:33those in the intersect is by looking at
134. 4:36a skills assessment uh which is specific
135. 4:39to a domain or context and also through
136. 4:41looking at problem solving which is
137. 4:42agnostic or independent of
138. 4:45context we need to have highly tuned
139. 4:48well-developed problem solving
140. 4:49capabilities independent of context or
141. 4:51or domain and being able to assess that
142. 4:53in a structured and systematic way in an
143. 4:54interview allows us to determine whether
144. 4:57a candidate is going to succeed in this
145. 4:58type of environment
146. 5:02once you have all the information you
147. 5:04need you can move on to Solutions the
148. 5:06best Solutions often feel like an
149. 5:08elevator pitch they should be clear well
150. 5:11synthesized and can even have a kpi or a
151. 5:13numerical value attached to them you
152. 5:15should have considered your problem from
153. 5:17all possible angles as well so here are
154. 5:20our tips for Success bring a pen and
155. 5:22paper you're not expected to be a human
156. 5:24calculator and you'll find it easier to
157. 5:26make notes and remember silence is okay
158. 5:29if you need time take
159. 5:32it synthesize out loud we want to follow
160. 5:35your thought process and how you reach
161. 5:37the solution and finally ask as many
162. 5:40clarifying questions as you need to be
163. 5:42able to get all the information from the
164. 5:43problem once we've had a chance to speak
165. 5:45with our hiring teams to get back in
166. 5:47touch and to think about whether or not
167. 5:48you might be the right fit then your
168. 5:50recruitment point of contact will be
169. 5:52straight back in touch we really hope
170. 5:54that problem solving gives you a nice
171. 5:55little slice into what life might be
172. 5:57like solving problems at revolute and
