What To Expect From The Recruitment Process

Every applicant will have a Discovery call with our Talent Acquisition team. If your profile is selected you will be contacted by phone or email (please check your spam folder). If you progress through to the next stage, the hiring manager will invite you to an interview with them on Teams along with the Assistant Team Manager. If you are successful we will then invite you to our Bradford office for a final stage interview with another Senior Manager. You will then also complete either a Sabre test or a basic geography test to assess your level of knowledge. Wherever possible we will provide you with feedback; however we are a small team and often we won’t be able to do so until after we fill the vacancy.
