Closing the Job Vacancy
On the closing date, all application forms received are checked to ensure you have enclosed all of the relevant information required. All Equal Opportunities monitoring information is detached from your application at this stage.
Any forms received after the closing date may not be accepted.
Short listing
Within 2 days of the closing date, the application forms are forwarded to the Selection Panel for short listing.
Each application form is assessed independently, with the Selection Panel looking for supporting evidence from the application form, which meets the criteria detailed in the Job Description and Person Specification
Short listing typically takes between 5 and 7 working days.
Invitation to Interview
Once the Selection Panel has identified the short listed applicants, the Recruitment Team will write a letter inviting you for an interview. If the interview date is imminent, we may also contact you by telephone.
Dependent upon the requirements of the role, you may be asked to undertake other assessment methods. These may include: Personality Profiling, Aptitude or Ability Tests, Written Reports, Presentations or other work simulation exercises.
Upon receipt of your invite to interview, we ask you to confirm your ability to attend. The recruitment team may telephone you if you do not respond to confirm your attendance.
Unsuccessful applicants
If you have not heard from us by the interview date, you may assume that you have not been selected for interview. Where no interview date was stated in the advertisement, you may assume your application to be unsuccessful if five weeks have elapsed since the closing date.
