Once applications have been closed, we read each application form and score them against criteria we have to ensure each application form is dealt with consistently and fairly. We need to check important things such as that you have the right entry qualifications and the right to work in the UK for example.
Once this is completed and your application is successful you will be invited to do two online assessments. If you have sadly not been successful, Diamond will still be in touch with you to let you know.
There are two assessments that we ask you to complete for us and these are designed for entry level roles such as apprenticeships.
The Core Abilities Assessment measures verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning skills – the building blocks for success in any job. It has some practice questions for you and then has 20 questions. It takes around 15 minutes to complete.
The assessment evaluates your problem-solving skills and ability to learn new mechanical concepts quickly. You will have 55 questions which will take around 25 minutes to complete.
You may be entitled to extra time in tests and exams so when we send you the assessment invitation you will have the opportunity to let us know. We can make additional time arrangements for you for the assessments.
Once the assessments are complete we look at both your application form again and your assessment results. If you have been successful you will be invited to an interview, please watch our video on tips to help you prepare for this. If you have not been successful we will be in touch to let you know.
