• An industry leading induction programme where you will have the chance to learn more about our culture and become confident to hit the ground running
• Opportunity to present your thinking, experiences and potential to the senior management team supporting you with your ongoing development and progression
• A potential opportunity to secure a graduate role by the time you return to university. Many of our former placements have gone on to senior positions within the business.

Next steps

There are three stages to the application process:

• Online assessment test – Candidates invited to the next stage will be required to complete a set of online tests to be administered by Arctic Shores.
• A video interview – Candidates will be asked to record themselves answering the provided questions on screen for one minute per question (but don’t worry, you will have up to three attempts!)
• A final assessment stage – This will likely be a combination of pre-prepared presentation and interview held virtually, although we may adjust this closer to the time to reflect the current circumstances.

At Kantar we have an integrated way of rewarding our people based around a simple, clear and consistent set of principles.

We go beyond the obvious, using intelligence, passion and creativity to inspire new thinking and shape the world we live in.

We want to create an equality of opportunity in a fair and supportive working environment where people feel included, accepted and are allowed to flourish in a space where their mental health and well-being is taken into consideration.

We want to create a more diverse community to expand our talent pool, be locally representative, drive diversity of thinking and better commercial outcomes.
