Our Recruitment Process
Please apply online by completing the application form and attaching your CV. We often receive a large number of applications, so a cover letter telling us why you want to join our team and how you match the selection criteria in the job ad will help you stand out.
Where possible we review applications as they come in, so we may start the shortlisting and interview process before the closing date in the ad.
We usually conduct short (approx 15 minutes) phone interviews to help us shortlist. We’ll then invite shortlisted for an interview via Teams or in person. This will often be a panel interview where you meet our HR Coordinator and the line manager of the position. To enable you to prepare we’ll try and provide you with the interview questions in advance.
For some roles, or when we need more information to decide between candidates, there will be a second interview, again via Teams or in person.
We encourage you to ask as many questions as you need during the recruitment process to ensure RACS is going to be a good fit for you. We reference check all successful candidates before proceeding to offer stage.
