How many interviews? Following a screen with the Recruitment Team, you can expect a two-stage interview process — one online and one in-person. Important BPSS Check As part of our recruitment process and due to the nature of the work we do, all employees are required to undertake a BPSS check. While some employees may require further security clearance, the BPSS check is mandatory and all offers of employment are conditional upon successful completion. Have you made it this far? If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person. Here’s the thing — research suggests many women and underrepresented groups don’t apply unless they meet every requirement. Even if you don’t tick every box above, we encourage you to introduce yourself. We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the more successful we will be.
