Competencies
Across all the stages of the application process, candidates will be assessed against a set of competencies, including personal drive and core company values. Experience is not required for our programmes as we will equip you with the skills you need to succeed.
Reasonable adjustments
Canary Wharf Group is committed to making sure applicants with disabilities, or physical or mental health conditions are supported during the recruitment process and during your employment. We achieve this by first striving to create a safe environment for people with disabilities. When submitting your application, you will see a list of reasonable adjustments we can make for candidates that need / would like them, catering to a range of different disability types.
Stage 1: Online Application
We will be hosting pre-application webinars to provide guidance on our process as well as hints and tips on your submission. These will take place on Friday 24 November at 11am, Wednesday 29 November at 10am and Tuesday 5 December at 12noon via Microsoft Teams. Please follow this link to register your attendance. Please note, attendance is not required to make an application. Candidates should only attend one session as content is repeated for each webinar.
Applications are made via our careers page on Workday; you will need to register for an account. Here you will be able to submit your CV and complete two application questions. A cover letter is optional.
Application questions are:
- What interests you in a career at Canary Wharf Group, and the graduate pathway you have chosen?
- What initiatives would you put in place for businesses to reduce plastic?
Applications can be drafted on word and copied into Workday. Answers should be no more than 500 words per question.
Once you have submitted your application, you will receive an automatic reply with a RARE Recruitment Survey Link. We are proud to be using the Rare Contextual Recruitment System. This measures candidates’ achievements in light of their wider personal circumstances. We value candidates on their potential; therefore, we do not have educational grade requirements.
Stage 2: Assessment Centre
The assessment centres are a fantastic opportunity for you to get to know the business and the Canary Wharf Estate. The assessment centres will be held in person and include a combination of tasks and networking opportunities.
You can expect an introduction in our Marketing Suite to understand the Estate, an interview with a panel of two Canary Wharf Group employees, a group exercise and a tour of the Estate with some of our current graduates and employees – this is your chance to ask lots of questions you may have about our organisation.
Stage 3: Final Assessment
The final assessment will be a deeper dive into your personal drive and competencies, with members of the team or department you will be potentially joining. This will be evaluated through an interview and a presentation that you prepare in advance.
