Question 2

What are the steps in the recruitment process?

Accepted Answer

Our recruitment process is designed to be fair, structured, and efficient. The steps are as follows:

Application
 Submit your application by completing the online Google Form.

Assessment
Candidates who meet the minimum requirements will be invited to complete an assessment through Thomas International. You will receive this invitation via email directly from the service provider.

Shortlisting
Candidates are shortlisted based on a combination of their assessment results, as well as their background, experience, and qualifications.

First and second Interviews
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in an interview with the hiring team. Interviews may take place in one of the following formats:

Pre-recorded (asynchronous) video interview
Instead of meeting a recruiter live, you will be provided with a set of questions and asked to record your responses in your own time using your smartphone or computer.

Remote interview
Conducted online via Microsoft Teams, using either a smartphone or computer.

In-person interview
Held at a specified location with members of the interview panel.

Recruitment checks
 Final checks are conducted, including criminal, credit, academic and reference verification.

Final Interview
A final interview with the Managing Director of the hiring Company.

Offer stage
An offer is prepared for, and presented to the successful candidate.

Question 3

Will I receive feedback on my application?

Accepted Answer

Due to the high volume of applications we receive, Hexagon Recruiting is currently only able to contact candidates who progress further in the selection process.

If you do not receive feedback from us within eight (8) weeks, please consider your application unsuccessful on this occasion.

We encourage you to continue applying for other opportunities as they become available.

Question 4

Who do I contact with queries?

Accepted Answer

If you experience technical issues (e.g. difficulty opening, registering for, or completing your assessment), please contact Thomas International support directly at: support@thomas.co.uk

Please note that Thomas International is the assessment provider only and will not be able to assist with queries related to the recruitment process.

For recruitment-related questions, you can contact the relevant hiring lead. Their contact details will be included in your Thomas Assessment invitation email, which you will receive directly in your inbox.

Question 6

How many times can I apply?

Accepted Answer

You are welcome to apply for as many roles as you like, provided you either live within 30km of the role or have accommodation within that area (for example, with family or friends).

However, please do not apply more than once for the same position. Submitting multiple applications for the same role does not increase your chances of being selected and creates additional administrative work for the hiring team.

Question 7

Can I use someone else’s email address to apply?

Accepted Answer

No. You must apply using your own personal email address.

All applications and assessments are linked to the email address used during the process. Using someone else’s email address may lead to confusion, delays, or issues with accessing your assessment results, and may be considered dishonest or fraudulent.

To protect your application and ensure a smooth process:
Always use your own email address when applying
Do not allow others to apply using your email address
Do not use someone else’s email address under any circumstances

We are recruitment specialists in the FMCG industry.
