Our approach to recruitment and selection is competency based. We believe that using a range of selection methods is the key to most effectively identifying the best person for the role.

The selection methods vary depending on the requirements of the role but we often use verbal or numerical reasoning tests (at an appropriate level for the role), work based exercises and practical activities, like group work or role plays. This approach allows candidates to demonstrate their suitability in a variety of different ways, whilst helping us to identify the most suitable person for the post and ensuring equal opportunities throughout the selection process.
