Welcome home<br />

build your career here<br />

Our real estate clients face uniquely challenging<br />

times. Do you have the potential to help them add<br />

value and inspire confidence for fearful consumers<br />

and cautious commercial buyers? If so, your talents<br />

will find a warm welcome at <strong>Xchanging</strong>.<br />

<strong>Xchanging</strong> <strong>Graduate</strong> Scheme<br />

We take graduates into our business every year, with start<br />

dates in September. Applications are welcome from anyone<br />

who is an undergraduate in their final year, completing a<br />

Masters, PHd or MBA. You can only apply once - so please<br />

make the most of your opportunity.<br />

Our Three Stage Process<br />

We choose successful candidates for the <strong>Xchanging</strong><br />

<strong>Graduate</strong> Scheme using a three stage process:<br />

Stage 1: Application<br />

You must apply through the website, using the<br />

link provided on the graduate home page. The<br />

application features some initial questions and<br />

a requirement to list your qualifications. We will<br />

also screen your application for spelling and<br />

grammatical accuracy.<br />

Stage 2: Selection<br />

Once stage 1 screening is finished, we select<br />

candidates for assessment using SHL tests. These<br />

tests are sent to you as web links to be carried out<br />

online. They measure your verbal and numerical<br />

reasoning ability. They are assessed against the<br />

graduate norm we expect.<br />

Stage 3: Assessment<br />

Based on the results of the SHL tests, we create<br />

a shortlist of candidates to attend one of our<br />

assessment centres. The format is a mixture of<br />

group work, individual interviews and presentations.<br />

From these assessment centres, we make offers to<br />

the strongest candidates.<br />

‘With <strong>Xchanging</strong> being such a young<br />

business, the youthful culture of<br />

entrepreneurialism runs deep and means<br />

pushing yourself to have new experiences.<br />

This for me has been the most exciting<br />

part of the culture of <strong>Xchanging</strong>.’<br />
