You can receive honest feedback at every stage.
We have flexible start dates - you join us when you are ready (our only requirement is that you work for a minimum of eight weeks).

There are three stages in the recruitment and interview process.

Stage One - Submit Your Application

Complete an undergraduate online application form.

Complete a pre-university online application form.

You will receive confirmation that your application has been received within 48 hours. We aim to review your application within 3-4 working days.

You can contact a member of the recruitment team at any time.

Stage Two - Online Aptitude Test

If your application meets our basic requirements, you will be invited to complete an online aptitude test. This will give us an idea of your verbal and numerical reasoning skills, and will take just 15 minutes to complete.

If you proceed to the next stage, you will be asked to complete a second aptitude test when you attend your interview.

Helpful Tips

Complete the test in a quiet environment when you can give it your undivided attention.
Work as quickly and as accurately as you can.
If you're unable to complete the test for quite a while, please let us know as soon as possible so we don’t keep reminding you that you need to take it!

What Happens Next?

The results of this test will be reviewed along with your full application form. We aim to get back to you within 2-3 working days. The quicker you complete the test following our invitation, the sooner we will be able to confirm if you have successfully reached the next stage of the selection process.

Stage Three - Interview

If your initial application is successful, you will be invited to call in to book a suitable date and time to attend your first (and only!) assessment. You will be with us for half a day at our Enfield or Edinburgh office.

What You Can Expect

We realise that the interviews can be nerve-racking and we will do everything we can to make it as painless as possible. Everyone you meet will want you to do your best.

On arrival, you'll be asked to complete a travel expenses form so please keep any receipts.
Following a brief presentation from one of our managers, a member of our recruitment team will give you an aptitude test and a series of problem solving exercises. You don't need to prepare beforehand and you do not need computing experience to do well.
You will then have an individual interview with one of our Senior Software Engineers to discuss your answers to the problems. He or she will seek to find out more about you and how you found the tests, and they will answer any questions you may have. You will also have a tour of the building with one of our recent Graduate starters who will answer any further questions you may have.
Before you leave you will be advised of when you will next hear from us (normally within 3-4 working days) and you will be given your travel expenses.
