Our recruitment process

Search for vacancies. Why not take a look at our recruiting tips?

When you see the role, you feel is right for you – press Apply and enter your details uploading your CV and completing our pre-application questions.

Once your application has been submitted, your pre-application questions, CV and your qualifications will be reviewed. If you are selected for the next stage of our recruitment process, we will be in contact with further information. Please don’t be discouraged if you don’t make it through, ensure you set up email alerts to be notified about other opportunities and don’t be hesitant about applying for other roles in the future.

For all apprentice and graduate applications that are progressed on from CV review, there are some assessments for you to complete. Don’t be alarmed, as you will be given full feedback providing you with some more information to assess any areas you can improve on. For apprentice applications, there will be numerical and verbal reasoning analysis along with a strengths questionnaire. For graduates, there will be numerical and reasoning assessments along with one called Situational Judgement. Situational Judgement tells us what you would do in job related environments and activities and how you effectively make decisions and problem solve.

If you have applied for an apprentice role and you are selected for an interview, after you have successfully completed all your assessments and strengths questionnaire, you will be contacted via our careers’ portal confirming if you have been successful to go onto our Video Interviewing stage.

The video interviewing comprises of you being asked five questions giving our Hiring Managers more information about why you are the best candidate to join their team.  Don’t worry if you have never done this before, there are instructions, information, advice and guidance provided and you get to do a test run before commencing with the first question.

You will be invited to reveal the question and will have 45 seconds once you press this to start answering.  You are given three minutes to answer the question and there is a countdown timer which lets you know when time is running out.  You will be surprised how long three minutes is when it’s counting down, but don’t be distracted – utilise the time well – it’s your time to shine!

You are given three attempts for every question, but if you are happy with your answer then submit and move onto the next question until you complete all five.

The final stage of our recruitment is to meet in person with the Hiring Manager and one of the team. If you are successful, you will be sent details of when the interview will take place, where it will take place and confirmation of who you will be meeting. This will happen one to two weeks after you have completed your Video Interview.

The interview is a two-way opportunity; firstly, for us to learn more about your background and also for you to get to know more about Tilbury Douglas and the role. You will be asked competency questions around the role. Remember try not to be nervous – see ‘prepare great questions for your interviewer’ which we hope may help!

We will notify you within one week to 10 days of the outcome of your interview and you will get a notification via our careers’ portal and a separate email from our Recruitment team. Please ensure that you review and read your offer and ask any questions you have as we are here and happy to help!
