Applicate in 5 steps
Step ① ➟
Have you submitted an application? Thank you! We will do our best to respond to your application by phone or email as soon as possible.
Step ② ➟
A manager, HR Business Partner or Recruitment Specialist will assess your application. In this first stage of the selection process we look at your training, work experience and motivation. If the job in question is not the right fit for you, we will look at whether there might be other options for you in any of our offices.
Step ③ ➟
If you match our requirements for the role we will then arrange to talk to you. You will meet the department manager and an employee from within the department. We will ask you relevant questions about the job. And you can ask us about anything you want to know. This process will quickly tell us if we are a match. We may progress to discussing terms and conditions straight away.
Step ④ ➟
For some roles (depending on the job level) we may ask you to take an assessment with us or with an external agency.
Step ⑤ ➟
If both parties are happy to take the selection process further, you will be invited to a second interview with a manager and usually an HR Business Partner. This gives us all the opportunity to discuss our organization, the role and your strengths in more detail.
