Shortlisting questions - these questions will be anonymised and then analysed in comparison to other applicants answers by our shortlisting team. Please try not to include identifying information.
Here are some top tips to answer the shortlisting questions: 

  • Be Specific & Relevant: Tailor your responses directly to the job description. Provide clear examples that demonstrate your skills and experience that align with the role. 
  • Keep it Concise & Focused: Be thorough but avoid unnecessary details. Ensure your answers are clear, concise, and directly respond to the question. 
  • Showcase Transferable Skills: If you don’t have direct experience in certain areas, highlight transferable skills from other roles or experiences that are relevant to the job. 
  • Research the Role & Company: Understand the company values, goals, and the role you are applying for. Tailor your responses to reflect the company's needs and culture. 
  • Check Grammar & Clarity: Proofread your answers for spelling, grammar, and clarity. Well-written responses create a professional impression. 

Can you use artificial intelligence to write your application? 

Although it can help to use artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT) to proofread your answers to the shortlisting questions, we recommend that you should review and customise the content to make it your own. Recruiters are able to recognise answers generated by artificial intelligence so make sure it reflects your own words and experiences.
