Telephone interviews form part of the screening process and ore used by Anglo American to screen candidates and narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for panel interviews. A member of the recruitment team will give you a call for a short conversation to discuss your background (including skills, qualification, experience, career interests) and the current opportunity so that we can get to know you a little better. The interview will take approximately 15-30 minutes and usual consist of similar questions for all candidates. Due to the high volume of applications, you will only be contacted if you are selected for a telephone.
This type of interview helps us get to know you better and evaluate your skills, qualification, experience, career interests through a series of interview questions. These are not live interviews with interviewers, but a set of pre-recorded questions that selected candidates will need to respond to. Candidates are screened against the requirements and the capabilities of the role. The video interview takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Some handy tips for video interviewing:
Well done for getting to this stage. At Anglo American we view the recruitment process as a two-way decision-making process; it is an opportunity for you to find out about Anglo American and the role, and an opportunity for the organisation to find out about the candidates (in particular skills, experiences, behaviours and motivations).
Interviews are often held with multiple interviewers and an interviewee at once, but you may meet with one interviewer. You might also go through multiple rounds of interviews that ensure you're the right candidate for the job depending on the scale and scope of the position. Interviews are conducted by trained interviewers and we expect the duration of your interview to be between 60-90 minutes.
Anglo American uses a behavioural-based, structured approach to interviewing in order to understand a candidate's capability, matched against a specified role. What this means is that during the interview you will be required to draw on experience and describe specific examples of incidents that demonstrate your capability in an area.
Interviews can take place in person, over the phone or video call. During the interview, we'll ask you some questions about yourself and the capabilities that are essential for the job for which you've applied. You will also get an opportunity to ask us questions.
You may be invited to additional interviews and you may be interviewed by more than one person.
We may ask a candidate to undergo assessments as part of the selection process. This will provide us with detailed insights about your cognitive capability, personality, motivations and drive in relation to the role.
These assessments can take place in a multitude of forms. These may include psychometric assessments, skills-competency measurement tools or interview-led assessments. Often, they are administered either online or taken in person in an office setting or on site.
The length of the assessments varies and depend on the combination of assessments that you need to complete for the role.
Should your profile and capabilities not meet our requirements based on the outcomes of interviews and/or assessments, we may arrange with you to keep your application on our talent community for future vacancies.

The types of background checks conducted depend on the nature of the role and may vary by country or region. These include criminal checks, qualifications, identity verification, credit checks and driver's licence. Most background checks can be completed between three days to one week depending on checks requested.
