What are the steps of a typical job application process?

The most common structure for a recruitment process is:

  1. Application Submission: Submit your resume/CV for the desired position.
  2. Interview: Attend a face-to-face or online interview with the recruiter to discuss your interest in the role and qualifications.
  3. Assessments: Successfully complete a set of aptitude tests, game assessments, or both to assess your skills and competencies.
  4. Assessment Center: Attend an in-person or digital assessment center to demonstrate your ability to handle specific tasks that are relevant to the position.
  5. Final Interview: Participate in a final interview, where you will answer competency-based questions and have the opportunity to ask questions about the role.

While this is the most common format of a recruitment process, this can change depending on the company with certain steps removed or added in.

How long does it take for an employer to respond?

While the average time is around 2-3 weeks after sending your application. A number of variables, including the total number of rounds for the application, can mean the process could take over 2 to 3 months.

Are graduate applications first come first serve?

While it is true that those that apply early will have a better chance of securing the role than those who apply late. It is not always first come, first serve. 

For best chance of success, whether as an early applicant or as a late candidate, ensure that you are well prepared for all the steps you will face in your application process if you can come across as a strong candidate for the role.

Are practice tests the best way to learn?

Practice exams are known to be the best way to prepare for real exams, this is due to how they help the learner to develop the key skill of pulling the information they need from memory to apply to the real question (Oakley & Sejnowkki, 2018)

This applies to practice tests, through regular practice the learner can understand how to approach certain styles of questions they will face with a strong balance of speed and accuracy.

Through our practice tests we also provide key insights regarding speed and accuracy and the test style to help further this knowledge for the user, ensuring when they face the real test they will be prepared.

Studies show that practice exams are the best way to prepare for real exams. This is because they implement spaced retrieval practice, with the learner pulling the information out of their memory when applying it to the question, which hardens that information in memory (Oakley & Sejnowski, 2018).
