The selection process generally takes 4-6 weeks, but can differ for some positions, because requirements and numbers of applicants vary considerably between jobs.
After the time limit for applications closes, we assess each application and then approach selected applicants by telephone to set the date for the next round of selection, which may involve tests (job-related, psychological, etc.), an interview or an Assessment Centre. This usually happens within a week after the application deadline.
The procedure usually has two or three rounds. After each round has been assessed, the best applicants are called by telephone an invited for the next interview.
The last stage in the selection process is when we make an offer to the selected applicant or applicants, and then all applicants are notified in writing.
