How employers
recruit
You’ll find many
employers apply a
four‑step recruitment
process for their
vacation and graduate
programs. We explain
what you can expect
and how to get prepared:

step 1

The initial online
application

step 3

Face-to-face
assessment

Once you’ve found a position you
want to apply for, you’ll need to fill in
an online application. Generally, this
application will require you to:
• rovide your academic results
P

You’ll then move onto a‑face‑to‑face
element, such as a group activity.
You may be assessed on your:
• roblem-solving skills
P

• utline your employment history and/or
O
relevant work experience
• ddress key selection criteria such as:
A

• eadership potential
L

- ow your experience and education
H
match the skills and competencies
expected in the role.
- hy you have chosen to apply for
W
the role.
• lus, you may need to complete:
P
- ehavioural-based questions, which aim
B
to assess your skills in areas such as
communication and time management
- sychometric testing, which some
P
employer’s use to assess your
personality, along with your literacy
and numeracy abilities.

step 2

Phone conversation
with a recruiter

If your online application is successful,
the company’s recruiter or Human
Resources officer will generally call
you to discuss your application and
the position in more detail. This is also
a great opportunity to ask questions
and learn more about the role.

• eamwork abilities
T
• ommunication and initiative traits.
C
This process may also have a technical
component, such as a business-based
case study, or be as simple as attending
a cocktail party so your prospective
employer can assess how well you
interact with staff.

step 4

The face-to-face
interview

This interview process could involve you
being interviewed by a panel of two or
more people, including a senior manager
or partner from the organisation.
Whatever you do, always come prepared
and be confident. Be ready to:
• Talk about your skills and

past experiences
• Promote your strengths

and attributes
• Highlight what you know about

the company
• Reinforce why you want to work

with them
• sk questions about the type of
A
work you would be required to do.
15

Stand out from
the crowd
It’s easy to be overlooked
amid the flood of CVs
employers receive.
Here are some strategies
to consider that could
help you gain a potential
employer’s attention:

Cultivate your digital brand

Tailor your job applications

It’s important to maintain your ‘brand’
both offline and online. What you share
on your Facebook page, in a YouTube
video, or on a blog all matter to potential
employers. In fact, it’s likely a hiring
manager will at least ‘Google’ you before
an interview. You need to ensure what
is viewable to the public won’t
reflect poorly on you as a professional.

Tailor your CV and cover letter for every
application. It’s well worth it because
the hiring manager can see at a glance,
your credentials and why you should be
considered for an interview.

Set up your LinkedIn profile
A great way to build your online identity
is by setting up your professional profile
on LinkedIn. Essentially it’s your online CV,
and helps you to network with others.
Joining our free student club, OneNetwork,
will give you the opportunity to access
our LinkedIn group. Here, you’ll be able
to connect with potential employers,
join in on conversations and profile your
professional experience.

16

Plus, adapting your CV for each job
opportunity shows you’re taking a
thoughtful approach to your job search.
Instead of hitting “send” and deploying
the same information time and again,
you’re making the effort to explain
why you’re the best candidate for each
specific role.

Follow up: before and after
the interview
After you send out a CV, don’t play the
waiting game if you want to get noticed.
Sending an email or calling to confirm your
CV has been received can help earn you
a spot on a busy hiring manager’s radar.
After an interview, it also makes a good
impression to send a thank you email.
Doing this re-emphasises your enthusiasm
for the position and your strengths.
