How does the interview process work?
Our interview process is based on the requirements of the role. We use competency-based interviewing, psychometric testing and assessment centres, but there are a variety of other selection tools we use where appropriate. It sounds scary but we promise it isn’t.

Sorry no. We do not offer any reimbursement for expenses incurred in attending an interview or an assessment centre.

Is there a Refer-a-Friend scheme?
Yes. If one of our team recommends you and you’re successful, they could get up to £1,000 – as long as they’re not part of the selection process.
Do you offer work experience/summer internships?
Yes. There are opportunities for work experience and internships in the form of summer and year-in placements. All placements, work experience and internships are managed locally at each of our contracts.
Please post a copy of your CV with a cover letter detailing the type of work/internship experience you are interested in. You will only be contacted if there is a placement opportunity available and you have been shortlisted for an interview.

Recruitment scams
I have received an email asking me to apply for a job. What should I do?
We are aware of recent incidents involving people falsely claiming to recruit people on our behalf, issuing false contracts and soliciting personal details and/or money to process security checks, etc. Please be assured we never make job offers without going through our formal recruitment process.
How can I tell if a job offer is fraudulent?
We will never contact you from a non-Amey email address and you should treat emails from Yahoo, Gmail etc as fraudulent. You should also report any application forms you receive via email as this won’t have come from us.
If we need to call you, we’ll always ring from a registered company phone, not a mobile number.
And we won’t request any form of payment or personal or financial information - ever
What else can I do if I receive a suspicious recruitment offer?
If you believe you have been defrauded, stop all communication and report the fraud to the authorities, i.e. your local police station or Action Fraud and provide them with all the relevant information. If you have provided bank details, contact your bank immediately.
We recommend that you do not respond to unsolicited job opportunities from people you don’t know. Report any instances of fraudulent approaches or job offers to us at:hrhelpdesk@amey.co.uk
Recruitment agencies
Information for all recruitment agencies
At Amey we source candidates directly and use a specified list of preferred suppliers to help support us in sourcing candidates for particular roles, if they are invited to do so.
We don't accept any speculative CVs from recruitment agencies or suppliers who are not part of our preferred supplier list, and we only pay agency fees where we have a signed agreement in place and that agency has been previously contacted and directed by a member of our recruitment team.
If this is not adhered to, Amey reserve the right to contact these candidates directly and have discussions with them without paying any agency fees.
Submission of any unsolicited CVs or proposals to Amey will be deemed evidence of full and unlimited acceptance of our agency policy.
