I sent my CV over to the email on their website and also applied for a role via a job site. I called next day and spoke to Petria Gatziou who couldn't find my CV but said if I sent it directly to her, she would call me back straight away. I sent it and waited. She didn't call me back and so I called her instead. She then proceeded to tell me that as I had both PM and BA skills I wasn't suitable for a PM role. I mentioned that I was a qualified PRINCE2 project manager and additionally had BA skills and experience. Oh, she said, she take another look at my CV but still didn't think I was suitable for a PM role. Perhaps she hadn't spotted the programme I successfully delivered? Oh my goodness! What a joke! I can only assume she is very inexperienced and not trained properly, unless this is the standard of Gravitas' candidate appraisal process. As a candidate I would avoid this firm and as a client, (asking them to find suitable candidates), I would avoid them too.
