--------------
Your CV:
Have your most recent CV (or resume) to hand, for reference.
Start with a blank document and create a CV specifically for the job you're applying for.
Here's what we think is a good idea to include:
Mention specific projects you worked on or managed.
If you've been in management or leadership roles, tell us how you managed and led your team.
If you've recently graduated, or are a school leaver you've still got something to put on a CV.
What school or University projects or activities did you participate in?
Did you lead any team, or group, activities?
Keep your CV brief, more than 2 pages are probably too long.
We only need to know about your previous 2 jobs in detail.
Previous jobs can form part of a simple list:
Employer
Dates of employment
Position held
Reason for leaving

Your Cover Letter:
We require the submission of a cover letter. As a guide here's what we think is worth mentioning:
What do you like about the role you're applying for.
What do you think we should note on your CV, as it applies to the job you're applying for.
Anything that's not on your CV that you think should be brought to our attention.

Your Application:
When you're ready to apply for the job you've chosen, hit the apply now button.
You'll need to upload your CV and your covering letter.
You've also got space to provide us with relevant work samples, such as your design portfolio, code, apps, content you created or projects you were involved in.
Are you suitable?
Whether we think you're suitable for your chosen role, or not, we shall let you know that we'd like to talk to you within 5 working days from the submission date of your application. If you sent an open application, it may take us a bit longer to get back to you.
--------------
Interview and Assessments:
Buckhill has the same basic interview process for the majority of positions in the company. For technical roles, an additional technical test (or if warranted a small project) shall be requested.
A short virtual conversation
As a first step in the process, we like to have a short conversation with you. This will usually be with a member of our HR team, where we go through the key skills you'll need for the role.
Online assessments
We'll ask you to complete an assessment via TestGorilla, the platform we use for testing all the candidates. The assessment consists of five tests related to your role which assess your technical skills and personality. More information about TestGorilla assessments can be found here.
Technical task
For technical positions, we may ask you to complete a short coding project. This could be a short case study or providing sample working code to a written specification.
In-depth interview
Assuming you pass the tests, we'll invite you to a formal interview (remote or in-person, depending on your situation). We want our interviews to be an equitable and inclusive experience to ensure that everyone feels comfortable.
We'll assess your skills as follows:
Structured interview questions using clear rubrics which are appropriate to the role you're applying for.
Open-ended questions to see how you solve problems, how you think and interact with a team of people and to see what your strengths are.
--------------
Decision and Offer:
Once the interview and assessment process is complete, we'll let you know whether we wish to make you an offer of employment, or not, within 5 working days of the last interview.
