Steps involved when applying for a role
Our multi-stage interview process is designed to ensure we have a fair and equal process to source the right candidate for every opportunity.
We celebrate diversity and inclusion and embrace individuals’ backgrounds. You can register and apply through our online career’s portal, which consists of uploading your CV and Cover Letter. For our early career paths, we utilise a contextual recruitment system at the application stage to provide a comprehensive measure of social mobility and identify resilient outperformers to help support equality. If you require us to make reasonable adjustments during the application process, please contact [email protected].
To remove any bias from the selection stage we anonymise your application, CV and Cover Letter. After submitting your application, our recruitment team will review your application and will be in touch to let you know the outcome as soon as possible.
Our structured interviews involve meeting the team and key stakeholders, typically requiring two to three interviews, with at least one in person, with all hiring managers receiving recruitment and unconscious bias training.
First-stage interviews include competency, experience, and technical questions. Early career paths include an online interview and assessment centre.
Final stage interviews will introduce you to the wider team and may include a case study, written analysis exercise or presentation.
Whatever the result, you will have the opportunity to receive feedback on your performance.
We endeavor to get back to all applicants within 28 days. If you do not hear from us within this period, please assume you have been unsuccessful on this occasion.
If you are successful in your application, a member of our Talent Acquisition team will be in touch to run you through your employment details and our benefits package.
