The next stage, if your application is successful, will be an invitation to a face-to-face interview. We truly believe that interviews are a two way process; we'll be able to find out more about you and ask some competency based questions to learn about your skills and career history, and you'll get the chance to ask us any questions you may have about us and the role.
To prepare for your face-to-face interview, make sure you:- Check the date, time, and location of your interview and plan your journey

- Ability & Psychometric Testing
Depending on the job that you are applying for, you may be asked to complete some form of ability and psychometric tests as part of the selection process.
Ability tests are designed to assess your aptitude and the professional attributes needed for the role. Psychometric tests are designed to find out more about your motivations as an individual within the workplace. As this type of test is about what motivates you, there are no right or wrong answers.
With both types of tests, always make sure you are in a quiet location, with plenty of time, and no distractions.
