I applied online. I interviewed at Jacobs (Glasgow, Escocia)
Interview
Submitted application and the next day I received an automatic email to tell me the position had been filled. I contacted them to ask why they were still advertising a position if it had been filled. The HR team were very unhelpful and told me that I would know it had been filled because a resourcing team member would contact me. This doesnt encourage me to apply for any roles with them again. They waste peoples time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not applicable. They advertise roles which have been filled.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jacobs (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2026
Interview
Overall a smooth Process. Really nice staff and good interview questions. more of a conversation than an interview. Type of questions they ask is competency based questions e.g. "think of a time"..etc
Informal discussion asking about experience so far, aspirations, skill sets. Seemed like a pre-screening interview with the hiring managers. Virtual meeting - reasonably informal, polite and professional. Informed about company current projects.
I applied online. I interviewed at Jacobs in Jun 2025
Interview
Easy interview, worst part is the background check, the service they use is really outdated in their process that required me to do a lot of work myself. The service seemed very unorganized

Question 1
Typical tell us about times you failed, succeeded, etc.
