I didn't get past the pre-recorded interview stage, but it started with an online application form, and then the standard online numerical/verbal tests, then the pre-recorded interview and I think the final stage would've been an assessment centre or in-person interview.
online interview conducted after usual screening assessments. It was part of the assessment centre day which took place online. Interview was with one person very much a question & response style interview
