FAQs

We believe that nobody should be left behind on our journey to build connections that really matter. So we’ve taken steps to remove bias from every stage of our recruitment process and ensure we select candidates based purely on how they are likely to perform in the role.

Application Form
We don’t accept CVs. Instead, everyone who applies completes the same application form meaning they can be assessed using fair and consistent criteria.
Situational Judgement Test
This is a best-practice tool for measuring whether you’re suitable for the role you’ve applied for. The assessment is anchored in a realistic job preview, making it less prone to bias than traditional reasoning tests.
Video Interview
When AI is used for interview screening, it can have an adverse impact on certain groups. We make sure all our interviews are screened by real people.
Assessment Centre
We provide all candidates with coaching prior to the assessment centre, so everyone knows what’s coming and has the same opportunity to prepare. We also train our assessors to recognise and address unconscious bias.
