We’ll invite you to take an online assessment in early November.
The assessment consists of a series of short, timed activities presented in a game-based format. It is designed to measure a range of cognitive abilities, including numeracy, reasoning, mental agility and abstract thinking.
You will be provided with full details of what to expect and instructions on how to complete the assessments.
You will have seven calendar days to complete the assessment, and you will receive a feedback report on your performance after you’ve received your results.
If you have been successful in the online assessment, you will be invited to take part in a video interview. You can complete this at whatever time is convenient to you. It will be made up of several timed questions to which you will record your responses.
You can complete the video interview at a time that suits you best within a seven-day window. The interview consists of several timed questions, and you’ll record your responses for each one. Once you’ve completed the process and received your results, we’ll provide you with feedback on your performance.
If you are successful at the video interview, we’ll invite you to book yourself onto an assessment centre. These face-to-face assessments will take place in the Heathrow offices in starting late January through to mid February.
It’s a great opportunity to visit the airport and meet us in person.
During the Assessment Centre, you'll engage with Heathrow leaders, including former graduates, and take part in a range of activities. These typically include an interview, a group exercise and a short presentation. We'll provide further details on the day.
You’ll have the chance to demonstrate your potential through these tasks, which we’ll tell you about in more detail through the joining instructions.
To avoid disappointment, we highly recommend that you secure your assessment slot as soon as you get the opportunity to do so. We’ll likely be in touch in mid January to invite you to take part.
Following your assessment centre, you can expect to receive your outcome in February.
Please note: dates may be subject to change.
To help you prepare, we'll be running an online webinar to tell you more about our Assessment Centre. It’s a great opportunity for you to meet some of our team and to find out about life at Heathrow
This will take place in January.
All candidates who attend an Assessment Centre will receive feedback. Those who are successful will join us in September 2027.
If you require any adjustments during the recruitment process, you'll have the opportunity to let us know when you apply and discuss your requirements with our team. We're committed to ensuring everyone can perform at their best throughout the selection process.
