How does the application process work?

Finding the right person for a role requires a thorough selection process. We may require a personality assessment, a video and/or in-person interview, an assignment or even a job simulation. The hiring team will share details of the process in advance.

Can I use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the recruitment process?

Throughout your recruitment journey, you’ll come across moments where using AI could be an option. We encourage you to approach this with the same freedom & responsibility we offer our employees. Our recruitment process is all about getting to know you as an individual - what makes you unique, your strengths, your passions.

It’s your chance to show us what you can really do, experience the role, and assess if it’s the right fit for you. By relying on AI, you risk missing the chance to truly stand out!
