Our Recruitment Process
At TWI, we aim to provide a fair, consistent and supportive recruitment experience for all applicants. Below is an overview of what you can expect when applying for one of our roles.
Vacancy Posting
All external vacancies are advertised on the TWI Careers website. Where appropriate, roles may also be posted on platforms such as Indeed and LinkedIn to reach a wider audience we would love for you to follow us on LinkedIn.
Application Review
All applications are reviewed and shortlisted by the hiring manager using Workday, our Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Shortlisting decisions are based on the skills, experience and qualifications most relevant to the role.
Pre‑Screening (For Selected Roles)
For some positions, our recruitment team may conduct a short pre‑screening telephone call.
This allows us to:
- Clarify key details about the role
- Discuss your relevant experience
- Confirm practical requirements before arranging interviews
Interview Stages
Most roles at TWI follow a two‑stage interview process:
First Stage
Typically held via Microsoft Teams, this interview helps us understand your background, experience and suitability for the role.
Second Stage
If progressed, the second stage will usually take place on‑site.
We believe it is important for candidates to:
- Experience our working environment

- Gain a clear understanding of what it is like to work at TWI
Feedback for Interviewed Candidates
- We aim to provide all unsuccessful candidates who have participated in a formal interview with a follow‑up email or telephone call to give them feedback on why they were not selected.
