The 45-minute online personality assessment asks situational basic logic questions. This assessment helps determine if Red Clay is a good match for a candidate’s work style.
Case Study
Case study interviews are broad, two-way discussions. During the case study, an interviewer poses a question, situation, problem, or challenge and asks the candidate to propose a solution. Candidates are encouraged to ask the interviewer questions to help understand the situation, gather pertinent information, and arrive at a solution. We are observing both a candidate’s communication and presentation skills and how the candidate thinks about and approaches the problem.
Technical Aptitude Assessment
The 75-minute technical aptitude assessment measures a candidate’s ability to learn programming languages. Candidates need no prior experience in programming; those with some experience gain no advantage over the inexperienced. The candidate will write coded instructions to a computer in a logical sequence to carry out program specifications. The candidate must apply the rules of coding, looping, incrementing, and branching to short programs and demonstrate adaptive flexibility by applying language rules to progressively more complex requirements.
Video Interview
The video interview focuses on educational experience and internships to assess if a candidate has the personality traits and skills needed to thrive at Red Clay. Be prepared to discuss your most important past experiences in a detailed way, describing the key actions that proved critical to your success.
