Application Process

Our application process is thorough, yet straightforward. This page takes you through the process and contains information that will help you get the most out of your application.

First of all

Make sure you have your CV and cover letter ready. Combined, these give us a better understanding of who you are.

Step 1 - Application

Find a job you are interested in on our Gradcracker Hub, click ' Apply online now' at the bottom of the job description to upload your CV and cover letter. You'll then receive a confirmation email from us.

 

Step 2 - Talent

Our Talent Acquisition Team assesses candidates for each vacancy. If you are selected, a member of this team will contact you to arrange an interview or discuss the next steps in the process.

 

Step 3 - Offer

If successful, you will initially receive a verbal offer which will then be followed by a formal offer letter confirming salary, proposed start date and other key information.


Application Hints & Tips

1. Do your research

Before submitting an application, it is really important to research the company fully. You need to be absolutely sure the role you are applying for is something you genuinely want to do. Recruiters can easily identify applicants who are serial appliers and haven’t done their homework.

2. Standing out from the crowd

To make sure you stand out from the crowd, make sure your application is really telling the recruiter something about you and why they should give you the opportunity to progress to the next stages of the selection process. A CV only says so much. Utilise your cover letter to really let the recruiters know more about who you are and your potential.

Do not copy and paste information from the company’s website to describe why you want to work for the company. Chances are we have already read the same thing a few hundred times that same day already. Be original.

3. Back to basics

Before submitting your final application, check for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors - they are simple things to correct but really stand out if they aren’t right.
