Our application process
Our application process
If your application is successful, a member of the talent team will invite you to a short virtual screening. This is just to cover the basic formalities, learn more about your skills and introduce you to our mission. If by then we decide to progress, we will invite you to a 1st stage virtual interview, where we will assess your skills and experience in more detail. If successful, this will then be followed by a 2nd stage interview, more scenario based. Then that completes the application process with Made Tech. We will be sure to keep you posted every step of the way.
