Our selection process

Our selection process will give you the chance to really understand RM. It will also give us the opportunity to see how you’d fit into the organisation.

Here’s a step by step guide to what you can expect:

Step 1: Apply online

We’ll ask you to upload your CV with a covering letter - and answer some questions on team working and communication. Once you’ve submitted your application, our graduate team will get back to you within 5 working days.

Step 2: Telephone Interview

Once we’ve received your application, if you have what we are looking for we’ll ask you to book in for a telephone interview with a member of the Graduate team. This is a chance for us to understand more about your application and reasons for applying - it will only take 15 minutes of your time.

Step 3: Online tests

When we’ve had a chance to talk and understand more about you, we’ll ask you to complete some online psychometric tests (verbal and numerical). Because these tests are online, you’ll be asked to sit a verification version of the tests later in the process.
