Our Recruitment Process
We believe in hiring for potential...
What is our recruitment process?
Application Questions
We ask applicants to answer two questions that are specifically linked to the role and team you are applying for. These questions are designed to give you the chance to showcase your passions, interests and relevant skills for the role regardless of your background and experience.
As we are looking for interest specific to you we would ask not to use Generative AI tools to write answers to these questions. We do use AI Decoders as part of the screening process and if your answers match to a high extent that will be factored into the scoring.

Bryq Cognitive Assessment
Bryq is an assessment that gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your cognitive and soft skills, which are then mapped against the specific requirements of the role you’re applying for.
It requires no preparation and takes around 14 minutes to complete. The assessment is designed to be inclusive, with reasonable adjustments available if needed.

This is not a pass-or-fail assessment. It simply provides an additional data point that will be considered alongside your application. As part of our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion, Bryq gives you another way to showcase your strengths beyond just your written responses.
Virtual Video Interview
The next step of our recruitment process is meeting one of our friendly talent partners for a virtual interview. Selection for this stage is purely based on your application responses, but we will ask you to send us a CV to reference simply so you don't have to start from scratch in telling us every detail of your backstory!
The purpose of the interview is to get to know you, what interests you and what motivates you. We will be specifically looking to understand why the role and team you have applied for it a good fit for you and your career ambitions.
We'd recommend making sure you research the role, team and Ipsos ahead of your interview, as well as preparing questions make sure you get all the information you wan to know.

In-Person Assessment Centre
The final step of our recruitment process is an In-Person Assessment Centre. Here you will get the opportunity to meet with a variety of Ipsos employees who work for the team you are applying for.
Some teams may choose to hold one day with all candidates, some will choose to hold individual interviews and tasks. All will hold a values-based interview and the most common tasks are a presentation and a group task, although this can differ depending on the team and the role.
Before any Assessment Centre you will be invited to a Candidate Briefing session. This is a chance for you to find out more about the role, team and Ipsos’s graduate offering. As well getting a more detailed breakdown of what to expect in your specific assessment and preparation hints and tips.
Hired
We recruit graduates into cohorts at 3 points throughout the year, these will often be March, July and October. Upon joining, you'll be welcomed into Generation Ipsos and immediately start your journey in your new role. As part of a cohort, you'll have the chance to collaborate with fellow graduates from across the business, expanding your network and contributing to innovative projects.
