Regardless of the role or programme you have applied for, the recruitment process at the London Stock Exchange Group (also known as LSEG) is very similar across the board. The steps and stages in the LSEG recruitment process will often include:

• Application Process: Once you have chosen a position or programme from the London Stock Exchange careers webpage, you will need to create a user account and upload your CV.
• Online Tests: If your CV and application are matched to the role you have selected, you will be sent a series of online assessment tests to complete, which are typically provided by SHL.
• Phone Screening: Once you have completed your online assessments, you should be contacted for a brief phone interview.
• Assessment Centre: During an assessment centre, you will meet with many other applicants who are vying for the same position. An assessment centre day will often include group activities, additional psychometric testing and sit-down interviews.
• Personal Interviews: Your personal interviews will either be held during or independently of an assessment centre, depending on the role you have applied for. These interviews will either be held one-on-one or in a group/ panel.

Psychometric and aptitude testing allow companies like the London Stock Exchange Group to evaluate skills possessed by each applicant, in regard to a specific job’s requirements. The most common types of tests that you will face are numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning and logical reasoning. Logical reasoning can be divided into inductive reasoning tests and deductive logical thinking tests. Depending on the role or programme you have applied for, you may also need to take a personality assessment. The aptitude assessments are typically provided by SHL.
