How to apply:

With ACT you will go through 4 different stages where various skills and competences will be tested.

It starts with the phone screen when a recruiter will have a quick call with you to better present you the role, understand more about yourself and align on the practicalities.

After that you will receive a TMA questionnaire that allows the recruitment team to have a more complete overview of your core competencies and the way you like to work.

That will serve as a guiding point for the recruitment interview which is a longer video call with a recruiter.

After that you will have an interview with the hiring managers and the team that is working the role you will applying for.

If that goes well the final step of the process is a business case. This is a simulation of responsibilities that you will have during the role that you apply for. This involves research and preparation of a presentation that you will be presenting in the office for the team.

If all the above steps are successful, then you will be hired!
