Before applying
Meet us
Attend one of our virtual or in-person events, where you’ll have the chance to learn more about our early careers programmes.
Be prepared
What would you like to know? When meeting us at events, make sure you are prepared with questions that will enable you to better understand our business and the opportunities available.
Research
It is important to be fully aware of the business and programme you are applying to and why this is of interest to you. Familiarise yourself with our business and key divisions on the Group website.
Application
Show your enthusiasm
A strong academic record and impressive achievements are a given for the top graduate employers. What often makes an application stand out from the crowd is its quality: how well it is written and how genuine and committed you are to our business.
Ensure correct details
Ensure your contact details are correct.
If we cannot reach you, we cannot invite you to the assessments.
Applying for an Engineering/Tech role?
We recommend you take a look at the job advert and consider how you can tailor your CV to showcase your technical skills and specific technologies of interest.
Immersive online assessment
Practice to increase your chances of success
The next stage of the application process is an untimed Immersive Online Assessment.
Find a suitable time to complete the assessment
We understand that online assessments can be stressful which is why we have a dedicated Assessment Preparation Hub, for guidance and technical support, to ensure you feel comfortable and confident ahead of completing the assessment itself.
Review your feedback
Our Immersive Online Assessment is designed to give you an insight into what it's like to work at LSEG. The assessments will enable us to understand your skills and get to know you better.
Video interview
Before the interview
We recommend that you take some time to re-familiarise yourself with your resume.
Be clear on the question being asked
The questions asked during the video interview are strengths-based questions. Unlike competency-based interviews which generally only focus on your past experiences, strengths-based Interviews are designed to assess your potential and what motivates you – whether you already have experience in these areas or not.
Come to us with original thinking
When drawing on examples, we encourage you to choose those most authentic to you. They can be from both your professional and personal experiences.
Be prepared to discuss your reasons
You’ll have the opportunity to practice a video response. You’ll first be asked to verify that your camera and microphone are working as expected, by recording a short video. You’ll then be able to play it back and check the quality of your video and audio. You can record this video several times, until you can see and hear yourself well. Ensure you have stable internet connection and are located in a quiet, well-lit location.
Be clear on the question being asked
Often candidates will have a supply of different examples to pull on to answer questions. Although this demonstrates good preparation, be mindful when using this technique as you may try to fit an example to a question without providing a suitable response.
Complete the interview in one sitting
Most importantly, relax, take your time, and try to answer the questions naturally.
Assessment Centre
Multiple exercises
The day will involve multiple exercises designed to help us understand your skills and get to know you better. We assess multiple competencies across multiple exercises, so if you have a challenging exercise during the assessment centre, put it to one side and move on. You’ll have several opportunities to show us what you are capable of. Remember, you’ll make mistakes through your career, but how you deal with these provides real insight into your approach and indicates how you may fit with our business.
Be yourself
We want to get to know you. It is often easy to adopt a persona you think we are looking for, but we want you to bring your authentic self to the day.
Speak up
if you have not fully understood the instructions, you may complete the task incorrectly and limit your evaluation. So, ask us if you are unsure, as we want to see you performing at your best.
Remember
We cannot assess information you don’t provide. When you are in a group conversational exercise, make sure you contribute verbally, sharing your views and interpretations. Don’t worry. Ahead of an assessment centre, we will confirm the format for the day, the exercises and who you might be meeting.
