Our application process at Tesco

You can only apply to one scheme, so take some time to find the right one for you. There’ll be guidance notes throughout the application to help you with answers. We recruit on a rolling basis, which means roles will be filled on a first come first served approach, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Before hitting the apply button make sure the device you're applying on has connection to the internet, microphone and camera access. If you don't have these available let us know by emailing [email protected] or call us on 0207 654 7212 to discuss the details further. For all other recruitment queries please contact [email protected]

You'll be asked whether you have a disability or long-term health condition so we can make any reasonable adjustments necessary to support you with your application. You'll also move straight to the video interview stage, in line with our commitment to the guaranteed interview scheme.

You’ll play four quick games, on any device, taking just 15 minutes. The games test your number skills, thinking, and behaviour. These fun games can be played on your phone, laptop or desktop and will help us to understand you a little better. Shortly after finishing, you'll get feedback and find out if you're through to the next step.

The games contain a series of game-based psychometric assessments, these will measure your cognitive skills, behavioural preferences, numerical and abstract reasoning abilities. An example of this would be, how you overcome challenges and make decisions. A decision on your outcome to move through to the next stage will be received shortly after completion.

We’ll ask you to record responses to a variety of questions mapping to our Win Together Behaviours. All video interviews are assessed by a member of the team to ensure a fair process, this may lead to a slight delay in receiving your feedback. Applicants that pass the recommended score will move to the next stage.

If you are applying for a Technology graduate or internship scheme, you will have a technical video interview before moving to the Discovery Centre stage.

The final stage of our recruitment process is a Discovery Centre. The virtual day is designed for you to learn more about Tesco as a business while working through group tasks and individual work. We'll also have a group coaching call before the day to make sure you’re ready.

The day will consist of working in groups and individually, on a variety of topics that help you learn even more about the work we do. We will help all invited candidates to understand what to expect on the day, by holding a group coaching call.

If you have applied for our Finance graduate or apprenticeship scheme, you will have a face-to-face interview after the Discovery Centre.

After the Discovery Centre day, we’ll let you know if you’ve been successful. We’ll share feedback over the phone, followed by a written feedback report. And if you’re successful, we’ll send you all the information you need to start your journey with us.
