Recruitment & Selection – Top Tips

Veolia Recruitment SelectionWe strongly recommend that you thoroughly review the job description for the role(s) you are applying for.  In your application don’t be afraid to draw our attention to where you have already demonstrated the essential skills, experiences and characteristics we are looking for.

After your initial application, you will be contacted by a member of the local Human Resources (HR) team if you have been shortlisted for the next stage of the process. Due to the large number of applications for our positions we can’t contact all unsuccessful candidates directly, although you will receive an update on the status of your application through the local applicant tracking system.

If you are shortlisted, you will be informed about what to expect from the next stage of the process.  This could take the form of a phone / virtual interview, a face to face interview, role specific knowledge tests or an assessment centre.  It’s important that you know what’s expected of you so that you can prepare well – please ask questions if anything is unclear or you need any further information!

As a general rule, understanding what is expected of you and being able to demonstrate this to the hiring manager using a variety of specific examples will help to set you apart from the competition.  Giving us an honest overview of your strengths and development needs will help us to assess whether you are a good fit for the role in question and, if you are successful in your application, provide a solid basis for us to work with you on your personal and professional development.
