Applying

We aim to make this as simple as possible for you and us, though there are of course some details that we need to go into to ensure that you have the right skills, aims and attitude to make our team even stronger.

As well as keeping the application form as short and simple as possible, we want to help you be as well prepared as possible when attending our assessment days.

We don’t really get to see the real you if we spring major surprises on you on the day. We’d never think of doing that to our current employees, so why should we for you.

Before being invited to an assessment day, you will also be asked to complete a time-limited online numeracy test. This tests the key skill of comfort with numbers at speed – in meetings with our clients you will often need to juggle numbers quickly and accurately.

The test consists of a number of scenarios where you need to analyse some data and interpret the numbers quickly. It is a standard test used by employers across the banking and finance industries, with the scoring reflecting the number of scenarios answered correctly in the set time period. It is very unlikely that you will get through all of the questions, but the more you manage to do, the higher your score.

The mathematics itself is straightforward, so there’s no need to worry if you’re a bit rusty on differentiation or integration, etc - you won’t need it in the test.
