The Process

Application Review

Now that you have submitted your application, one of our talent consultants will review your application and experience against the requirements of the position.

We may be in touch via email or phone to discuss your application further, so please keep an eye on your emails and look out for text messages from G8!

Interview

A key component of our recruitment process is the interview. This is where you will meet the Hiring Manager for the first time and is a great opportunity for you to find out more about the role, team and the Centre.

Generally, this will be done in person in Centre, or in some cases virtually.

Final Checks & Offer

The Talent Team will be in contact with you within a few days of the interview to confirm the outcome. If you are successful to progress, we will contact your referees to confirm your employment history. For some roles, a background check may also be required.

Once finalised, we will issue you an online employment contract and get you all set for your first day!
