Hiring FAQs

Right after you apply, you will receive an email from us letting you know we’ve received your application.

About one to two weeks later, you’ll receive another email with an update on your application or asking you to book yourself in for an interview.

This can vary during busier periods, but our HR department is always working hard to respond to you as quickly as possible.

Each role and level can be different, but generally, our process takes 3–4 weeks from the initial conversation with human resources through to a decision on the outcome. (And we hope for you that it’s a big YES.) We will keep you updated along the way to ensure you know what to expect and if there are any changes in the timeline.

You’ll meet a bunch of personalities with great potential and goals in mind along the way to give you as much context as possible. It’s always great to get a variety of perspectives. It will vary from role to role, but in most cases, you will meet people from human resources, operations, and your future teammates.

Tip 1: Be yourself

We celebrate individuality and diversity of thought. We want to see your personality and authentic self shine. Plus you're always your best when you’re yourself.

Tip 2: Don’t overthink it

The thought of interviewing can be a little daunting. Trust us, we've been there too. The good part is every single team member who has joined has been exactly where you are now. So take a deep breath and have your questions and examples of previous work ready. The rest we will guide you through.

Tip 3: Do your prep

It’s always a good idea to get to know us as much as you can before the interview. Checking out our social media is a great place to start. You can find links to our social media channels at the bottom of this page.

We also recommend getting to know who you will be meeting with in your interview. Jump on LinkedIn, view their profiles and find out what they were up to before they joined BP Global and what their roles are now. You might find something in common or a shared connection.

Tip 4: Have your questions ready

The interview is as much about you getting to know us as it is about us getting to know you.

This is your opportunity to have any burning questions ready. You might have questions on our culture, the team you will join, the role you will do.

Tip 5: Get ready to answer questions

When answering interview questions it's always a great idea to have tangible examples to support your answer.
