Jobs – recruitment process
We are proud of our committed and motivated workforce, and believe our recruitment process plays an essential role in this success. As you would expect, we invest considerable time and effort into ensuring that we make excellent recruitment decisions - and equally that you, as a candidate, have all the information you need to make your next important career move.
Recruitment at OPP typically has two stages:
- First stage:
If you are invited to the first stage of our recruitment process, you can expect to meet a couple of our managers, who will give you an overview of OPP, and how the vacancy fits within the organisation. They will discuss your CV, and explore your past achievements. In particular, they will ask about your reasons for applying for the role, your professional knowledge, and your working preferences. Wherever possible we will be looking for examples and evidence of your experience that meet our criteria. The session will be a two-way exchange of information, so we will ensure that you have plenty of time to ask us questions, and find out more about how OPP could support you as an employer.
- Second stage:
Candidates with the best fit for the role will go through to a second interview, designed to provide an additional two-way exchange of information. It is your chance to ask us additional questions about the job, your career, and OPP's vision and strategy. It's also an opportunity for us to further examine your skills and competencies, your specialist knowledge, and how these relate to our career model. At this stage we will also carry out appropriate assessments. These could include psychometric assessments, exercises, role plays, presentations, and group exercises.
As soon as you accept an offer of employment, we start preparing a bespoke induction programme for you.
