            1. Submit your application

            Top tips:

            • Review and double-check your application to spot any mistakes before you submit it.

            2. Video interview and online assessment and video interview

            If you meet our requirements, you will be sent a link to the SHL talent central hub. You need to register to access the assessments. You have 10 days to complete these assessments.

            Video Interview:
            You will then be asked to submit a video where to a series of questions. This will help us to understand your motivation, your understanding of the role and Chaucer, and your strengths that make you a great fit.

            Top tips:

            • Do your research, practise interview questions and if asked to prepare a presentation make sure that you are ready to deliver it.
            • Be yourself – we want to see your authentic self.
            • Ask questions and have a few up your sleeve for the end of the interview. It’s a great chance to get the information you want from us, too.
