What happens next?
Once you have applied, we will aim to review your application within 3 working days. If you meet the criteria and you are shortlisted:
- A member of our Talent Acquisition team will be in touch with you to set up an initial screening call. This will involve talking through your experience and motivations for wanting to join us, your suitability for the role and may include some technical questions.
- If successful following the initial call, you will be invited to a panel interview, either in person or online. The panel interview will contain a mixture of behavioural and technical competency based questions, and might require you to prepare a presentation.
The usual timeframe for feedback after your panel interview is two weeks, however this will depend on the size of the recruitment campaign.
