Our application process
To apply for a job at Amaze, we ask you to provide your CV and a cover letter. The cover letter should tell us how you meet the requirements in the person specification section of the job description. We have written this guide to writing covering letters to help you understand this.
There will be a date that applications close. After this date, we will then read all applications and score them. The highest scoring candidates will be invited to interview.
We will send you an email to invite you to interview. If you are not successful getting to this stage, we will also let you know by email.
We will ask you what adjustments you need to attend an interview. We will also provide all interview questions in advance of the interview.
Most of our jobs have a one stage interview process, but on some occasions, we may need to invite candidates to a second interview. We will let you know if this is the case.
If you have any questions about our application process, please contact [email protected].
