With people being at the heart of what we do, we strongly believe in transparency and want to give all candidates and employees a peace of mind. So, this page is dedicated to showing you a roadmap of how our application process works and gives you a reference point when going through the process.

After you’ve accepted the offer, this stage is what we call onboarding.

FAQs - Your Application

What happens after I apply?

Once you have applied, the hiring manager will review your application and make a decision to whether or not you have been successful for shortlisting. You should receive an email from ourselves of the outcome either way. If you are successful for an interview, you will get a call to arrange a suitable time/date between yourself and interview panel.

What will my interview look like?

The interview will be conducted either on MS Teams or face-to-face, most of our interviews consist of 6 questions (3 technical, 3 behavioural) to test your competencies.

Can I get feedback?

Within 2 working days after your interview, you should receive a call from a member of the interview panel letting you know the outcome of the interview as well as any feedback. If this time cannot be met due to other factors e.g. an interview is scheduled with another applicant another date, then you should be notified at the time of the interview.

FAQs - Your Onboarding

This can change as each pre-employment check is unique and requires support from outside factors however to make this as fast as possible on the day you receive the pre employment checks if you complete these as soon as possible this will support your overall onboarding timeframe.
