How it works
- About five minutes. It asks questions about the role and about you - your experience and why you're applying.
- When it suits you. Start straight after you apply or come back to it later.
- In your own language. Answer in the language you're most comfortable in.
- About the job. The questions are about the role and your experience of it.
What the employer sees, and who decides
The employer receives a transcript, a summary and a score based on your answers. People at the employer read them and make hiring decisions.
Some employers set must-have requirements, such as a licence the law requires. If your answers show you don't meet one, your application may be turned down automatically. If that happens the employer should tell you, and you can ask a person at the employer to review it, give your view and challenge the decision - contact the employer you applied to.
Adjustments and your health
If you're disabled or have a health condition, you can ask the employer for adjustments at any stage, including to the screening. You don't need to tell us about your health to apply, and employers generally shouldn't ask before offering you a job, except in limited cases such as arranging adjustments.
If something about your health comes up in a screening, neither we nor the employer should use it to make decisions.
Tips
- Read the job advert first. Have one or two examples in mind for the main parts of the role.
- Be yourself. Short, honest answers with an example work better than long ones.
- Say what your CV doesn't. Career changes, caring years, volunteering - if it's relevant, mention it.
Screening is run by BeCareers for the employers that use it. How your data is used: Privacy Policy, section 4.
