Interview Process

What happens after you apply

Our experienced HR Team will review your resume and decide if you meet the selection criteria.
You will then receive an email, asking for more information, inviting you to one of our testing sessions or to an interview, or advising you that your application has not been accepted.

The testing process for Traders and IT

If you are applying for a Trader or IT position* and have met our initial selection criteria, you will be invited to one of our offices to complete first-round testing.
If you are invited to test you will be given additional information on the testing process. However to maintain the integrity of our testing system, we cannot give you any further details about this stage.

* Please note that there can also be a test phase for positions available within Business Operations.

The interview

If you successfully complete our testing, you will be invited to attend our interview sessions.
Applicants for all positions will be required to attend a two-stage interview process. The first interview will be behaviour based facilitated by our HR Department. The second will be a technical interview hosted by a senior member from the relevant department.

Timing of decisions

We will give you feedback about the status of your application at every stage of the recruitment process. The team that interviewed you makes the final hiring decision. All interviewed applicants will be notified of the outcome within 5 days of their final interview.
