The application process

We’ve worked hard to make every stage of application fair and inclusive. So, you can trust you’re being seen for your skills, strengths and motivation – nothing more, nothing less.

Our application process is super simple and consistent across all schemes, with the key difference being the deadlines - so be sure to keep track of the date for the scheme you're interested in.


We don’t ask for CVs, as part of our commitment to inclusive hiring. Instead, we focus on your potential, assessing your strengths, values, and motivations. From day one, you’ll be joining us on a permanent contract, so you can focus on growing your career with us from the start.


Each step of the process is designed to help us get to know you better and for you to learn more about us, ensuring we’re a great match. We’ll keep you in the loop with feedback and updates, so you’ll always know how you’re progressing and when you can expect to hear more.


At Virgin Media O2 we are committed to leveraging advanced technologies to enhance our recruitment process. However, we do not use Generative AI, or AI models trained on external datasets, to score or make decisions about candidates. Our goal is to use technology responsibly and transparently. We encourage all applicants to take the same approach and use tools like AI responsibly – we still want to see your originality and authenticity!

To ensure our recruitment process is fair and inclusive for everyone, we’ve made significant effors to eliminate bias and focus on what really matters - your values, motivation, and strengths. Here’s how:

- We don’t ask for CVs. Instead, everyone completes the same application form, so everyone is assessed on the same criteria

- Our online assessment is designed to accurately identify talent without bias, focusing on the strengths and motivation that are essential for an early careers role at Virgin Media O2

- We use structured interviews with standardized questions to ensure all candidates are evaluated using the same criteria

- All candidates receive coaching before attending an assessment centre. This ensures everyone knows what to expect and has the same opportunity to prepare

- We ensure our interview and assessment panels are diverse and all our assessors are trained to recognise and address unconscious bias
 

We want to see your enthusiasm for a role as well as our business. So, we’d always suggest applying to the scheme that interests you the most.
We’ll let you know we’ve received it safely and send you regular updates about its progress.
Of course, we welcome applications from everyone.
We want everyone to be at their best at every stage of recruitment. So, if you need additional support at any point, let us know. Feel free to call the team on 01635 888 358 if you’d like to discuss your situation.
We’re all over social media, and our graduate and intern LinkedIn page is especially active – you’ll be invited to join once you receive your offer. Here, you can drop us a message, see what current grads and interns are up to, and chat to others joining with you.
 
We’ll also send you lots of info about your first rotation and where you’ll be based. And we run a summer event for all new grads and interns, so you’ll be able to get to know your colleagues before you even start. Plus, the Future Careers team will always be on hand to answer any questions you have.
We aim for everyone who completes their scheme to move into a permanent role within our business. Usually, this is at least one grade above the job they’ve been working in as a graduate.
Our current grads and interns are always happy to share advice. Once you’re offered a position, you’ll be added to our LinkedIn group for all grads and interns. After you’ve started in the role, you’ll also have access to our mobility policy, which supports any future moves required as part of the role. Please note, this does not cover your initial rotation location.
