How to apply

As well as keeping the application form as straightforward 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 two online assessments -  a time-limited online numeracy test and an aptitude test to assess judgement and problem solving.

The numerical assessment 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.

The second test assesses judgement required for solving problems in work-related situations, putting you in situations that you might encounter at work.

No special training, knowledge, or experience is required in order to take this type of test. Your answers should draw on general knowledge and life experience only.

Bear in mind that you are not being asked to judge if an option is right or wrong, just to evaluate which is the best (and worst) option available to you from those provided.
