After a rudimentary application process involving the submission of a cover letter and a casual phone call with a member of the bet365 talent acquisition team, there is an obligatory assessment centre to attend. This was interesting and relaxed involving a numerical assessment, several group tasks and an individual interview. Overall, it is clear that the acquisition team are looking for employees that are willing to act as call centre workers for the majority of their time at the company. Several of the other applicants, including myself rejected the offer to work for this company as we realised the the job was not in fact a graduate scheme, as advertised, but rather a 2-year call centre role.

The process took about 4 weeks in total. Firstly I had a telephone interview. Then I was invited to the assessment centre at the bet365 Stadium in Stoke. I took part in group negiotiating and teamwork tasks such as building a tower and people stuck in a cave. We also had to do a group presentation on a failing hotel, a mental maths test and a solo interview. The day was very full on and long but was very fun and great to meet the other candidates.
