We break it up into 4 stages:
Initial call with Lotti Cook, our Talent Acquisition Partner (30 mins)
A chemistry call with Chloe Collins, our Head of Marketing to discuss the role, touch on your experience and to get to know you a little better (30 mins)
A skill-based interview where you will discuss your previous experience and then present a task with Chloe Collins, or Head of Marketing and a member of the content design team (1 hour)
A culture interview to check that your work style fits our processes and values (1 hour)
We’ll let you know if you’re invited to an interview or not. But, as a small team with a lot of applications to consider, we can’t give personal feedback on each application.
To meet our regulatory obligations as an FCA-authorised financial services company, we need to do some background checks on all new hires. That means carrying out a DBS check and making sure you don't have any live criminal proceedings. Feel free to ask our Talent Acquisition team if you have any questions about this!
