Recruitment process

The first stage of the recruitment process is to send us your covering letter and CV. It is important that you let us know which skills and experience are relevant to the job you are applying for, so time spent on your covering letter and CV is important, and will pay off.

Once we receive your CV and covering letter, they will be reviewed and evaluated. If we think you may be suitable, we will send you an assessment to complete and contact you regarding an interview at our offices in Cambridge (UK). In some instances we may ask you to take part in a telephone interview to aid us with our sifting process.

If your application is unsuccessful, you can be sure that we will contact you.

Interview process

This is usually a two-stage process. Your first interview will generally be with two people, and will involve discussion of aspects of your CV and covering letter in detail.  You may also be asked to do an initial test, including psychometric testing.  This testing is never used to decide whether a candidate is suitable, but rather to explore your application on a level that can not be obtained through traditional interviews. If you are applying for a technical role, your first interview will include technical questions.

The second interview will, again, be with two people, although at least one of them may be new to you. You are likely to be asked a few more questions, and to sit at least one other test depending on the role. The test questions will directly relate to the job role you are applying for, and will enable us to evaluate how you will perform in real working situations.

We have a dedicated interview room which creates a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Our aim is to make candidates feel at ease, allowing them to demonstrate their full potential at interview.

Graduates applying for our 2008 intake may attend a graduate day in addition to the above selection process.
