Applied

Candidates are welcome to apply for roles or register their interest to work at Cifas.

Stage 2

Review

We will review all resumes and applications received, shortlisting candidates who meet the basic criteria and experience needed for the role.

In situations where we receive a high volume of applicants, resumes will be shortlisted in order to identify those who meet the desired criteria.

Stage 3

Telephone Screening Interview

We may choose to carry out a preliminary informal screening call as part of the shortlisting process. This call is designed to assess the communication skills, experience and knowledge of the candidate in relation to the role.

Stage 4

1st Stage Interview

Shortlisted candidates are invited to a virtual competency-based interview with a hiring manager. These interviews may include behavioural, technical or situational questions in order to assess the candidate’s skills, knowledge, and organisational fit.

Stage 5

2nd Stage Interview

A second stage interview may vary depending on the level of the role. We may choose to do an assessment exercise in order to further evaluate the candidate’s suitability.

Some roles may require a third stage interview with a director or with our Head of People & Culture.

Stage 6

Cifas internal checks

Before making an official offer to a candidate, we undertake an internal vetting on our National Fraud Database. Candidates must return a permission vetting form in order for this to be carried out.

We process your personal data for detection and prevention of fraudulent conduct, and checks carried out on our databases will be repeated prior to the end of probation as well as on an annual basis. An offer to a candidate will be subject to the checks being satisfactory.

Stage 7

Offer

The candidate is extended a formal job offer, and this includes details such as salary, benefits, start date and any necessary pre-employment documents.

Stage 8

Vetting

At Cifas we carry out thorough background checks with all employees prior to joining. An external provider working with Cifas will conduct DBS checks, employment and education verifications and more.

Stage 9

Welcome to Cifas

Once the candidate accepts the offer of employment, they go through the onboarding process, which includes completing a number of documents, a new joiner induction plan and training to better familiarise them with the work of Cifas, our values and culture.
