Recruitment process

Recruitment campaign

The initial recruitment campaign is to attract candidates to HS2 through generic advertising campaigns. The current adverts try and identify talent for roles across a number of specialisms within the organisation. We will be recruiting to a number of specialist roles in the implementation team in a phased approach.

Candidates are asked to complete the following documents to submit an application:

• an up to date CV
• a personal statement outlining your skills, knowledge and expertise in a particular area of work – focusing on the specialist areas that HS2 Limited are recruiting for
• a diversity questionnaire

Interviews and talent management

Candidates will be sifted against a ‘general’ set of skills, knowledge and expertise, which are outlined in the information provided. 

We need to see evidence that allows us to assess your application effectively. When looking at the key requirements in the information provided, think about relevant examples that clearly demonstrate your knowledge, skills and expertise. 

You may also like to highlight any particular areas of interest within a specialism where you feel your skills, knowledge and expertise fit with the requirements of our company.

Candidates that have been able to demonstrate their ability will be invited to an interview, which could be a telephone interview initially and then a more formal panel interview internally.

Feedback

Unfortunately we are unable to provide feedback to applications that are sifted out at the initial stage due to the volume of activity. We will strive to provide feedback to all interviewed candidates.
