November 02, 2026
We want to make our recruitment process as transparent and straightforward as possible. To support you, we’ve put together two short videos covering the key stages of our process, submitting your application and preparing for your interview.
Video 1: Application top tips
Your application is your first opportunity to tell us your story. It’s more than just a list of past job titles; it’s a chance to demonstrate how your experience and skill set align with what we’re looking for.
In this video, we cover:
- How to tailor your CV and application answers to match the role requirements.
- What our recruitment team actually look for during the initial review stage.
- Practical tips to ensure your application stands out for the right reasons.
Video 2: Interview top tips
If your application is successful, the next step is a conversation. We view interviews as a two-way conversation, an opportunity for us to learn more about your skills and experience, and for you to decide whether the role and Autotrader are the right choice for your career.
In this video, we cover:
- How to structure your answers using real-world examples.
- What to research beforehand so you feel confident and prepared.
- How to approach the conversation authentically and ask meaningful questions of your own.
Ready to get started?
Whether you’re polishing your CV, getting ready to hit submit on your application or preparing for an upcoming interview, we hope these videos help you feel a little more prepared and confident about what comes next.
And remember, there’s no secret formula. Do your research, think about the experiences you want to share and, most importantly, be yourself.
