CV Application
All applications are managed online. You can explore current openings via the ‘live vacancies’ section on our website.
When you find a role that interests you, simply apply to get started with your application. We’ll ask you to upload your CV, provide some basic personal details, and answer a few basic questions. Cover letters are optional.
Online Assessments
As part of our application process, you will be invited to complete an online assessment. These assessments are designed to help us get to know you better—your strengths, your thinking style, and how you approach different types of challenges.
They’re a great opportunity to showcase your abilities beyond your CV.
Video Interview
The third stage of our application process is a one-way, pre-recorded video interview. You’ll be asked a series of short questions, each with a set time limit to respond.
The video interview plays an important role and helps us get to know you on a more personal and professional level.
Assessment Centre
The final stage of our application process is an Assessment Centre, which typically lasts around 4 hours.
During this session, you can expect to:
- Be introduced to the team
- Take part in a small group exercise
- Have the chance to network with current students
- Participate in a competency-based interview
This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about us, while we get to know you better too.

Application Tips
Discover how to ace your application.
Creating a strong CV is a key step in making a great first impression. Here are some tips to help you stand out:
- Do your research: We know that applying for roles can feel daunting, and AI platforms such as ChatGPT can be helpful when you're getting started. They can support you in structuring your CV, tailoring your application, and presenting your experience more clearly and confidently. However, over-reliance on AI can lead to applications that feel generic or overly polished, often filled with buzzwords but lacking authenticity. We want to hear your voice and understand your motivations, so AI should only be used thoughtfully and as support tool. To strengthen your application, we recommend exploring a range of resources to deepen your understanding of the role and our business such as the Experian website, our social media, Google and Linkedin.
- Tailor your CV: Make sure your CV is relevant to the role - let your passion for the opportunity shine through! Highlight the skills and experiences that match the job description to make it clear for our team to see why you’re applying for the opportunity.
- Get the basics right: Format, grammar, and layout matter. A clean, well-structured CV shows attention to detail and professionalism.
- Use your support network: Many colleges and universities have Employability Teams who can help you review and improve your CV. Take advantage of their expertise!
