Selection and Interview Process
Once I have submitted my application form, what is the next stage of the recruitment process?
After the closing date, your "filtered" application form will be submitted to the recruiting manager. "Filtered" means that the recruiting manager will not be issued any personal details about you - only details about your skills, experiences and qualifications will be visible. This means the recruiting manager will shortlist using this filtered information only, and supports our commitment towards offering equal opportunities for all. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted and invited to an interview or assessment session, as applicable. Unfortunately we are not able to automatically provide individual feedback relating to unsuccessful application(s), if you have not heard from us within 3 weeks from the closing date of each post please assume your application has been unsuccessful. If you would like to receive specific feedback relating to your please contact the HR Team on 01823 356311.
Tell me about the Tone Leisure interview process?
If shortlisted, we will write to you and invite you to an interview and/or assessment session. The contents of each will vary depending on the requirements of the role, but full written details will be provided in advance.
The interview will normally take at least 45 minutes and will be with 2 or more recruiting managers. In addition you will be offered a tour of the centre or work location.
You will also be asked to undertake some relevant work based assessments. These may be held on a group or individual basis and timings will vary depending on content, however you will be given written notice regarding this. Activities may include giving a short presentation on a pre-selected topic; completing a role-related manual task (for example demonstrating that you can set up equipment safely, teach a fitness class or undertake an in tray prioritising task); completing electronic skills assessments such as Microsoft Word or Excel exercises; and for some roles psychometric testing may apply (occupational personality questionnaires).
If you are invited for interview and you have any questions or queries regarding the selection methods please contact the HR Team on 01823 356311.
If I am successful at interview, how and when will I know?
If successful at interview, we will telephone you and verbally offer you the appointment. This offer will then be confirmed in writing. Any offer of employment is subject to our satisfactory receipt of two references, CRB and medical clearance and (if applicable) ISA registration. Upon acceptance of the offer, you will be required to complete relevant paperwork relating to these checks, and will not be permitted to commence employment until clearance is issued.
If I am unsuccessful at interview, how and when will I know?
We will either telephone or write to you informing you if you are unsuccessful at interview. You will normally hear from us within one week of your interview date.
Not everyone likes to receive feedback on the reasons for this decision and therefore we do not automatically offer this. If however you would like to receive feedback please let us know and the recruiting manager can discuss this with you.
