Our Approach to Recruitment

Do your research

From the start, we'll be looking for signs that you're right for us. So even before you apply, you can make a great impression. Do your research! Knowing all about us is essential to making sure we're right for you – and will make the application process so much more enjoyable. Find out as much as you can about our business, the industry and the role. Our corporate website (www.rewardgateway.com) is a good place to start.

See what others are saying about us

You can also get hold of our company accounts and financial reports or read what the media say about us and our industry. If you know anyone who works for RGER, or a similar company, why not have a chat with them about the kind of work we do? Spend a bit of time on this – it will be worth it. Keep up-to-date and use this knowledge during the application process. Follow us on LinkedIn, Glassdoor or Instagram and see what we have been up to!

Creating your CV or resume

An accurate and up-to-date CV or resume is essential. It's usually our first impression of what you've got to offer. We’ll also keep it on file so you're in the mix if another opportunity comes up. We prefer no more than three A4 pages that include an overview of your skills, achievements and what you’re looking for from a career. Give examples of your competencies, skills and achievements each time – particularly if they relate to the job you’re applying for.

Completing the application form

Some opportunities allow you to fill out an online application form along with or instead of your CV. This can be your first big chance to impress us by selling your skills, your experience and your enthusiasm. Take some time before you fill it in. Read it through carefully, decide what information you’re going to need for each section and get it all together before you start. Important details include your education or job history, including any work experience placements you've had.

Preparing for interview

If you get offered an interview, please prepare. It helps with nerves and increases confidence. Take a look back through the job description and think about the kind of things we might want to know in the interview. For example, what competencies and skills does it list? We're looking for real-life examples of how you've used these in your work or in everyday life. We know interviews can make you feel nervous and so by sharing what to expect before the interview, we hope you can feel properly prepared and can focus on showing your best rather than worrying about what to expect. The tasks are always role specific and we like all of our applicants' tasks to be anonymous so we can keep the process fair.

The interview

If it's a video interview, we'll send you a link beforehand. Please download the app and test it out in advance. Set yourself up in a quiet and well-lit space with a good internet connection. We understand that sometimes finding a quiet space without interruptions at home can be difficult, so don't worry if you do get interrupted – we won't hold it against you! When you're answering questions, remind yourself to look and smile at us. And if you're not sure what to wear, it's safest to go for smart / business casual attire. Don't forget to prepare some questions for us, whether it's about the role or more about RGER. Arrive early for a face-to-face interview. If you're delayed, try to call to let us know. Have a print-out of your invitation just in case you can't access the details on your phone.

Taking online tests

For some roles we will conduct online tests, and these check a variety of skills. For example, as some of our jobs involve working with numbers, you'll be asked to take an online numerical reasoning test. The ability tests are timed, so you need to work quickly and accurately. Read each question carefully so you understand what we're asking for. Think about what you'd do in a typical work situation – or, if you're new to the world of work, in another area of your life. If it's your second time taking the tests, read your feedback report first, so you know which areas you need to improve.

Performing well at an assessment centre

Our assessment centres are designed to help you shine, showcase your strengths and give you insight into what it's like to work here. They usually involve group and individual exercises, a written exercise or presentation, or a standard face-to-face interview. You'll be with lots of other people but remember, you're not competing with them. We're looking at you all as individuals, and there may well be more than one role available. Just show us what you've got to offer by performing at your very best.
