We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work. We recognize the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experiences, and backgrounds brings to us as an organization.
To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioral and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility into your ways of working.
