Pros

Naomi was really helpful keeping me informed throughout the application process and being readily available whenever I had any last-minute questions. It's quite a long application process with a few different stages but I actually found this to be helpful as it encouraged me to research the company thoroughly so that I have a good grasp of what I can expect and what is expected of me. I feel well prepared for my first day because of this, and also feel confident about my abilities and suitability to the role. Discovery Day was very enjoyable, especially the team tasks - by the time it got to the interview stage I was feeling really relaxed and confident in my knowledge, so it was actually beneficial to warm up with all the tasks and chit chat beforehand. It was great to be able to chat to some of the team members.

Cons

The application process does require you to dedicate quite a few hours to prepare for the Discovery Day/interviews. This could be hard to work around if you're currently employed, studying or have care duties.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm delighted that you mentioned our recruitment partner Naomi, and I will pass on the feedback. I'm also glad you enjoyed our approach to Discovery Day, we've put a lot of effort into setting the tone for candidates to be themselves and succeed in an informal environment. In terms of the application process, you're right, we do ask a lot, and it does take a lot of time. Your feedback about how this is potentially challenging for folks with other responsibilities is fair. On a case by case basis, we do flex timings for candidates who ask, but you've given me food for thought to see if we can do even more. Looking forward to welcoming you to the team! Best, James Doyle Head of Ops
