Recruitment Approach
We adopt a "name blind" approach to short‑listing. Recruiting managers will not have access to personal information, including your name and contact details, until a shortlisting decision has been made - this also applies to any CV uploaded. Equality monitoring information is not accessible by recruiting managers at any stage.
