What is the application process?

Our application is divided into five stages; 1. Complete our online application form (please see website for dates). 2. Successful applicants will then be invited to sit on-line verbal/numerical tests. 3. The next stage will be a telephone interview with a recruiter for Cadbury. 4. Upon a successful telephone interview you will be invited to a face to face interview with a recruiter or a line manager from the recruiting department. 5. The final stage assessment centre will involve further psychometric testing, followed by an informal dinner with managers and current graduates. The main assessment centre on the following day is designed to be challenging but fun. Candidates will usually be informed of a decision within a week.
