Recruitment Process

Q. What does the Recruitment process look like?

Our Hiring Managers take lead on the recruitment of their positions, after you have submitted your application, you will receive an acknowledgement email. The hiring team will then review your application. For most of our roles, applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 

The hiring team will then begin shortlisting, this will usually include a screening call if shortlisted.  

Interviews are usually held face to face, and at times may be via teams. You will receive an invitation to choose your slot via email. 

Some roles may require a second stage interview, and tasks may form part of the process depending on the role. 

The hiring team will then consult with each other on the outcome of your application, and you will receive communication notifying you of their decision.

Q. Will I be notified if I am not successful?

Yes, we inform all applicants of the outcome of your application/interview. Unfortunately, due to the number of applications we receive, we are generally unable to provide personalised feedback.

If you have interviewed with us for any of our roles and would like to request personalised feedback, you may request this by emailing recruitment@socialinterestgroup.org.uk.

Your request will then be reviewed by the Talent Acquisition team who will get back to you with an outcome.

Q. Can I re-apply if I am not successful?

Absolutely! You are welcome to apply for other openings that match your qualifications and interests.
