Application and hiring process

This role is being advertised on behalf of a partner company, which handles applications and all subsequent hiring steps. A matching process powered by AI is used to review applications quickly and fairly against the role’s core criteria. Shortlisted candidates are then shared with the hiring company, and the partner’s internal team manages the final decision as well as any interviews or assessments.

Privacy and data use

By applying, you agree that your personal data may be processed to assess your suitability for the role and shared with the hiring employer where appropriate. This is done under applicable data protection rules, including GDPR, and is based on legitimate interest and pre-contractual measures.

These tools assist the recruitment team but do not replace human decision-making, and the final hiring decision is made by people.
