Our commitment to diversity and inclusion ensures a workplace enriched by different perspectives and ways of thinking. We encourage applications from all backgrounds.
Step 1
Online application
When you see a vacancy, it’s best to apply immediately using the application form on our website.
Step 2
Telephone interview
An informal phone interview with a member of our HR team, covering your skills, experience and motivations. We’ll email you details beforehand.
Step 3
Face-to-face interview
An interview with the hiring manager, where you can ask questions and get to know our business a little better.
Step 4
Competency test
For some roles, we may test your relevant technical skills – for example, a coding exercise for engineering or a writing task for editorial.
Step 5
Assessment centre
If you’ve applied for an apprenticeship or for our graduate programme, we may ask you to attend an assessment centre.
Step 6
Offer
If you’re successful, our Talent team will call you to make a verbal offer. We’ll follow this up with a confirmation email.
Once you’ve accepted our offer, our HR team will contact you to arrange a start date and organise any practicalities for your first day.
Tips from the team
FAQs. General questions
While we hope you've found all the answers you're looking for within this site, we realise that there are a few questions that don't naturally fall within any of the sections.
But if you need to contact the Talent team, you can reach us at talent@telegraph.co.uk.
We recommend that you keep an eye on our careers site for a job that’s a good fit for you, rather than sending your CV speculatively. This means you won’t miss out on any opportunities.
Yes, we do. Take a look at our Future Talent page for more details.
We support flexible working and do offer both part-time roles and flexible working on a case-by-case basis. When you apply for a role please let us know (via your cover letter) what sort of flexibility you’re looking for and we’ll be sure to have a conversation with you about it, should you proceed to interview.
Feel free to apply to any jobs you're qualified for. If the role is appropriate for visa sponsorship and you're qualified for the job, the recruiter will let you know how to proceed with the interview process.
FAQs. Applying
We appreciate everyone who chooses to apply, and so our Talent team take the time, care, and attention to review every application, covering letter and application questions (when asked).
Yes, you can apply for multiple jobs. We recommend, however, that you only apply for jobs that you are well qualified for.
Once you have applied, our recruiters will keep you in the loop. Please allow a couple of weeks initially for us to look through applications - we get quite a few.
Yes, we aim to let applicants know the result of their application, whether they are successful or not.
Unfortunately, we can’t give feedback to everyone who applies due to the number of applications we receive. If you have a phone or face-to-face interview, or are invited to complete a task, you will receive feedback.
Upon acceptance of a job offer, we will ask you to provide two job references and verification of any appropriate qualification for your role and, if required, a DBS check.
We collect diversity information to ensure we maintain equal and inclusive recruitment processes. Your data will not be used on an individual basis and will not be used in any way to inform recruitment decisions.
FAQs. Interview preparation
Congratulations, you've got an interview! Here are our thoughts on the questions we get asked the most by candidates preparing for an interview with us.
Wear what you feel comfortable in. As a guide, smart-casual is always good for an interview.
Our office is based in Victoria Central London, and it’s likely that your interview will be here; however, as a first-round interview, we may ask to just chat via a video call. Either way, the instructions will be included in your interview invite.
If you need help with accessibility or to make an application, such as our web page not working with your assistive technology, please email talent@telegraph.co.uk and we can assist you via email or arrange a phone call.
Once you have applied, We are always happy to make reasonable adjustments and never want accessibility to be a barrier to success in our recruitment processes. Therefore, if you reach an appropriate stage in the recruitment process please speak to the recruiter about any reasonable adjustments you may need.
At this time we don’t cover interview travel expenses as a matter of course. However if you are applying for one of our Future Talent programmes and need to talk about support, please have a conversation with the recruiter about this - we never want financial circumstance to be a barrier to people joining us.
Please do! Engaged and informed applicants make a good impression. However, you do not have to be a regular Telegraph reader or subscriber to thrive here.
