The application process

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU APPLY?

Because we're looking for people with remarkable qualities, our application process is extremely rigorous. But don't let that put you off. Here's how to apply and what happens to your application at each stage:

1. Application

It's simple to apply. Just complete the online application form. Before you start your application, we suggest you print out the application hints and tips so you can refer back to them.

2. Review

Your application will be reviewed by a member of our recruitment team, who'll look for intelligent responses to the competency-based questions. At this stage you may be asked to complete online numerical and verbal tests for some of our streams.

3. Telephone interview

This is to check that you have the right personality, attributes and ability for the area for which you're being considered. If you're applying for the ICT and Research stream, you may also need to go through a technical screening exercise.

4. Manager selection

Your details will be given to BT managers who are looking to recruit graduate talent into their teams. If you fit their requirements, you'll be invited to an assessment.

5. Assessment

You’ll go through a number of exercises at an assessment centre. These can include role-plays, group exercises, case studies and interviews. You’ll also get the chance to meet with some of our current graduates and managers.

6. Decision

If you're successful, and we can offer you a place, we'll call you in the days following your assessment to tell you the good news.

Throughout the recruitment process we'll be measuring you against BT's Leadership CapabilitiesPDF file. These capabilities are lived throughout the organisation and its vital that our graduates demonstrate that they can live them too.
