What to expect
Our approach to recruitment is fair, thorough, and friendly. We’ll keep you posted every step of the way.
Although everyone’s recruitment journey is different, the process from application to offer typically takes two to four weeks, depending on availability and client/project needs.
For graduates and industrial placements, vacancies go live in late autumn, followed by interviews in the New Year with offers confirmed shortly after, for an autumn start.
