Our interview process:

Understanding that interviews can be overwhelming, we've streamlined our process to make it more approachable:

• Next up, you'll be invited to a Teams call (or visit our HQ if you prefer) for a 45-minute interview with the department head and a senior manager. You will then be asked to complete a short assessment to submit back within a few days.
• If the fit seems right, and the assessment has gone well, a final 'feel-good' check awaits as you meet in person with your line manager.
