Interview notes

A quick guide to our interview process

No matter which position you apply for within Audley, the interview process is pretty much the same. It breaks down into two main stages - here's an outline of the process for a country specialist's job.

1st Stage

The Regional Manager for the Programme you have applied for will conduct a phone interview with you. It will last about 30 minutes and focus on your work and travel experience, and why you’re interested in working for Audley. You'll be contacted prior to the telephone interview by a member of the HR team so that you are ready and prepared to receive the call.

2nd Stage

If you succeed in the first stage, you'll be invited to attend our offices in Witney, for a face to face interview. The interview will be held by the Regional Manager of the area that you’re applying for, as well as a member of our Human Resources team. You'll be asked to complete some short tests to assess your numerical, written and computer skills, all of which are important for the role of country specialist. Prior to your interview you will also be required to complete a short psychometric survey. After the meeting you'll have an opportunity to take a look around our offices.

We follow a similar interview process if you are applying for any other vacancies within Audley.
We need good people to stay at Audley, which means there must be careers on offer here. We have deliberately created a structure for developing skills and rewarding achievement.
It all starts with a thorough induction process for all employees
For country specialists, this includes a familiarisation trip in your area of specialisation followed by systems training.
Whenever vacancies arise they are advertised ‘in house’ first, as we like to promote from within the company.
When a Country Specialist has been employed for a year, they can enter the Senior Country Specialist Scheme, which is operated using a point system.
On top of this, every Senior Country Specialist can aim to be an Elite Specialist, who we view as role models within the company. Elite specialists earn more money too.
Regional managers have a more strategic role. They manage small teams and look after product, sales levels and operations. They report to Programme Managers.
In our Reservations team we have a structure that gives people an upward career path in ticketing. We guide them through their BA level 1 & 2 exams.
