Your recruitment journey
Application
Take your time completing the application form and tailor it to the role you are applying to; our application top tips video can help you with this stage.
First Stage
You will speak to a member of the team over Microsoft Teams, where we'll discuss your motivations, experience and suitability for the role. Watch our interview top tips video and let us help you prepare.
Second Stage
You will be invited to our office to complete a job-related task relevant to the role you are applying for. There will also be a competency-based interview and where possible, a short office tour.
For some roles, this stage may be split into two, with a job-related task taking place over Microsoft Teams.
Final Stage
This is a great opportunity to speak to a member of our Leadership team and discuss our six company values and alignment to the role. This could either be in person or over Microsoft Teams.
Outcome
If you have been successful at each stage, we will be excited to make you an offer!
All offers are subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks, which generally take two weeks to complete.
Inclusive hiring
Diversity for us means respect for and appreciation of differences in gender; sex; age; sexual orientation; disability and neurodiversity; race and ethnic origin; religion and faith; marital status; and social/educational background and way of thinking.
This also applies to how we recruit, and we're committed to providing a fully inclusive and accessible recruitment process. We are flexible and have experience in adapting both our application and assessments by discussing your individual needs first. We will check if you need any adjustments during our process but feel free to contact the resourcing team in advance of applying to have a confidential chat. You can contact us at recruitment@autotrader.co.uk or by calling 0330 303 9006.
