Our Recruitment Process

Phone Screen:
This will be a 10–15-minute phone call with one of our internal recruiters. This call will allow us to get an insight into your understanding of what we do at Hanson Wade Group and what interests you in the company and the role.
First-stage interview:
If you are successful following the phone interview, you will be progressed onto a first-stage interview with the hiring manager for the role. You will be asked CV-based competency questions. This interview should last between 45 minutes to an hour.
Wader DIP:
If you are progressed after your first interview, you will participate in the Wader DIP. This is your opportunity to learn more about our business. We believe it is important to experience the business and culture before making any big decisions. This is your chance to interview us so please come prepared with questions. You will meet with three waders from different departments whom you will work closely with.
Presentation/Final Interview:
Using the insights gained from your Wader DIP, we will ask you to create a 15-minute presentation on why you would be the right choice for Hanson Wade Group. The internal recruiter will provide you with guidelines in preparation for this final interview. From here you will find out if you have been offered the role!
If you aren’t successful:
We always aim to provide a pleasant and consistent candidate experience for all our candidates, even when they have not been offered the role. If you make it to the face-to-face interview stages and you aren’t successful, we will always provide feedback to help you succeed in your future interviews.
