Application details  

As an employer we use the Beapplied platform for applications. bepplied seeks to remove unconscious bias from hiring processes. 

The application process:

• We ask for candidates to complete four short answer questions.

• Reviews of short answer questions are blind sifted. Each of your answers will be reviewed separately and will be anonymous.  Reviewers will have banks of questions to review across various candidates, so they won’t see your full application in one go. It is therefore essential that you treat each question individually and do not make links to other questions e.g., “please see previous question”.

• You will be asked to upload your CV. However, to maintain the blind process for the review stage (sift) we will only look at CVs at the point in which we are shortlisting applications.

Closing date: Monday 15 March 2021, 10:00 GMT
