Your First Step: The Screening Call
What is the BKL screening call and what should you expect?
The first step in our recruitment process is the screening call. This stage enables us to gain a deeper understanding of you as a candidate, and provides you with an opportunity to learn about various aspects of working at BKL.
Upon receiving an invitation for the screening call, please allocate approximately 30-45 minutes for it. Ensure that you are in a quiet, distraction-free environment. We advise against taking the call while in transit, as it may affect the quality of our conversation.
What should I expect?
After scheduling your call via our booking platform, a member of our People Team will contact you at the arranged time. We recognize that unexpected events can occur, so our first step will be to confirm your availability and readiness for the conversation.
The call is interactive; the interviewer will have a set of questions they will need to ask you but we encourage you to ask questions about BKL, our culture, values, and specific details about the role.
How do I prepare?
While a CV provides an overview of your professional background, the screening call allows us to learn more about your career history and personality. Be prepared to discuss your recent roles or professional trajectory. A useful starting point would be what is the impact and value you have added at your last position and how do you see yourself growing within the role at BKL.
Familiarize yourself with the job description and think about how your skills and experience match the requirements. This preparation will facilitate a meaningful discussion. Your motivation for applying to BKL is also essential. Reflect on what aspects of the role interest you and how these align with your aspirations.
💡Pro Tip:
We value candidates who can align their skills with our job descriptions and explain how they can contribute to the role based on their background.
Culture is really important to us at BKL, it is important that every team member not only contributes to but also thrives in our environment. Reflect on the workplace cultures where you have felt most connected and productive. What elements help you thrive?
