Our Recruitment Process

Applications for our 2024/2025 Graduate intake close on 11 June 2024!

As part of the application process, we will ask you to upload a CV, and the latest transcript, and ask you a few questions to get to know you, your interests and your aspirations better. 

After we have reviewed your application and you have been successful in moving through to the next round, you will be asked to complete an online technical test. This will allow us to understand where your strengths lie across the various tools, languages and frameworks we use.

Next, you will be invited to an assessment centre, held on 27th June 2024, to meet some of our talented team to learn about what we do and find out about how a graduate opportunity with us could help propel your career to where you want to go. We believe this date will tie in well with your semester break.

And then from there, your future is in your hands!
