It was an easy process to follow and there was clear guidance on each part of the process.

The whole recruitment process for the graduate program is around 4-5 months. You'll need to submit an online application, then proceed to complete an individual task, personality test and psychometric assessment. If your application is accepted, you'll be required to book a time to complete an assessment centre with a group of other candidates and then an individual interview. This requires knowledge on the NSW Government's capability framework. If you are accepted at this stage, you'll need to complete pre-employment checks and then record a video to a question. At this stage, you are put in a talent pool for your specific stream, however, it can take a bit of time to be offered a role. I was offered a role in early November whereas other graduates were offered roles as late as mid-January, a few weeks before the program starts.
