Here’s how our selection journey works, and what you can expect at each stage: Application Review We process applications on a rolling basis, moving candidates forward as they complete each stage. Every application is carefully reviewed by our team (not by AI). Due to the high volume of interest, this stage can take up to two weeks. Please note: We do not review CVs or cover letters at this point. 2. Online Assessment We understand you want to put your best foot forward, giving you 5 calendar days to complete the online assessment. If you need more time, just let us know as extensions are available. 3. Video Interview Preparation matters, so you’ll have up to 10 days (240 hours) from receiving your invitation to record and submit your video interview. Rest assured: Every video interview is reviewed by a real member of our recruitment team, not an AI system. You’ll typically hear back from us within 2-3 weeks after submitting your interview, though times may vary depending on the volume of submissions. 4. Assessment Centres Our assessment centres are held in person at the Aon location nearest to the area you applied for. Please note: Due to the large number of applications, not every candidate who completes a video interview will be invited to an assessment centre. Assessment centres usually run from November to May. (With a pause over the Christmas holidays.) If selected, we will provide 7-14 days’ notice to give you time to arrange any travel.

In fact, Aon focuses on developing and applying innovative AI tools that assist both staff members and customers. As an Aon colleague, you will use these tools when you become part of our team. AI can be a helpful tool for researching Aon, preparing for interviews or refining your CV, it should support, not replace, your own thinking, judgement, skills and experiences. Any application materials you submit should accurately reflect your achievements, capabilities and potential. We ask that you refrain from using AI when completing assessments or during live or pre-recorded interview processes, which will often include an in-person interview where the technology will not be available to you. Additionally, virtual or in-person interviews should not be recorded or transcribed. Aon fosters a culture of inclusiveness, fairness and transparency. We expect all candidates to embrace these principles in every interaction with us. Applying for more than one programme or role We ask candidates to submit one Early Carers application per recruitment cycle.
