Procter & Gamble |

Ready to fuel the success of globally renowned brands like Gillette, Pampers, Head & Shoulders and Oral-B that millions of consumers can’t live without? Ever dreamt of a career where you are fully supported by world-class training and development to progress to leadership? Want to work for a company consistently recognised as one of the UK’s leading graduate employers?

When you choose P&G as the place to begin and build your career, you’re choosing more than an employer. P&G is a company with a history of making ground breaking discoveries and our build-from-within culture means we expect our interns and graduates to become the senior leaders of the future. We do this by investing heavily in your career development with senior leaders supporting those starting their career journey to continuously grow their capabilities. With our strong emphasis on leadership development, responsibility from Day 1, and a working environment that is flexible and supportive, P&G offers not only a fulfilling career but one where you can make an impact right from the start.

P&G recruits the finest people and develops talent almost exclusively from within. Following a successful internship, placement or career academy, P&G hires graduates into permanent roles with the expectation that they become one of P&G’s future leaders... maybe even the next CEO!

We look for the best talent to join us at P&G, so our hiring process is thorough and purposeful. It ensures that we recruit the right people, and that you have a complete understanding of who we are, what we do, and what we expect from you. Our process is designed to ensure that we are the right culture fit for you and your desired career path.

We want to get to know you. And while we encourage the use of available tools to help you prepare for your application and throughout the hiring process, you are expected to complete the assessments and conduct any interviews on your own without any real-time help – from others or the use of technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Violation of these principles is grounds for rejection within the application process.

To ensure equal opportunities for all interested candidates, our hiring process is flexible and accessible. We adapt to your needs, from application to interviews, allowing you to showcase your best. Learn more about P&G's Disability Accommodation process on our website.

Step 1: Application

A P&G application is the first step in the hiring process for internships, graduates looking for a full-time position, and experienced hires. This is your opportunity to tell us all about yourself.

Step 2: Assessment

After you submit your application, you may be directed to take one or more of our online assessments.

Our assessments are unique and help us determine if P&G is a good fit for you—and vice versa. The P&G online assessment measures skills and abilities that generally do not emerge from interviews. These assessments are critical, as they help determine your potential for success as a P&G employee.

We aim to let you know the results of your assessment, whether you have progressed to the next step of the hiring process, and what the next steps are within 30 days. We will do this via email. If you don’t pass an assessment the first time around, you can try again after 12 months.

What are the types of assessments?​​​​​​​

You may be asked to take many different types of assessments depending on the role you apply for, requirements of the role, and other factors. Questions come in many forms, including rating scale, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-gap, multi-levelled rounds, memory tests, and more.

Peak Performance Assessment (Online)

Assesses your background, experience, interest, and work-related attitudes, and measures your compatibility against P&G competencies for predicting successful job performance.

Interactive Assessment (Online)

This is role-dependent and measures many factors of your cognitive ability—information that is difficult to assess from resumes, application forms, and interviews alone.

Assessment Facts

Assessments are a mandatory part of the P&G application process so it’s important that you complete any presented to you. Many of our assessments are challenging and will require substantial, sustained concentration. Please ensure you take them seriously as they directly impact your candidacy standing.

Step 3: Interviews 

The purpose of a P&G interview is to get to know you better and give you a chance to ask us questions. You can expect to have one-on-one or panel interviews, which may be conducted virtually (online or via a phone call) or in person depending on your country. Most interviews last around 45-60 minutes, but there are no strict time limits. Your interview will be with a member of our team rather than any pre-recorded software. 
 

As well as being a chance for us to ask you questions, interviews are also your opportunity to find out about us. You should use the opportunity to gain more in-depth understanding of P&G’s unique culture, values, and endless opportunities. We believe two-way communication starts from Day 1, so ask away.

Our Approach To Interviews 

We use behavioural-based interviews to get to know the real you. P&G interview questions cover what makes you tick and what have you achieved so far, and help us learn more about your skills, capabilities, experience level, and fit for the role. Based on the requirements of the role, you may also be asked some additional questions specific to the type of work you may be doing in your first role at P&G.

Additional steps or interviewing options may be required for different roles or functions. For example, candidates applying for a P&G Sales role that requires previous experience may be invited to an online virtual job interview which measures many factors, including work style, sales experience, problem-solving, and cognitive ability. 

Our approach is designed to help us understand how you relate to, compare with, and connect with our Purpose, Values, & Principles: the foundation for P&G’s unique culture and how our people succeed in today’s business environment.

At P&G, we believe that if we support your wellbeing, you are better able to contribute to the success of the company and achieve your personal goals. That is why our Total Rewards package is focused on supporting 4 key wellbeing areas: Financial, Work-life, Physical and Mental. 

Some of the benefits available across these four pillars are below. In addition to these, in the UK we also offer a ‘Flex4Me’ fund which allows you to allocate a portion of your benefits package to the areas that matter most to you. 

Financial

• Base Salary - Our salaries are benchmarked with the finest companies in our industry, allowing us to compete for top talent. As you continue to make an impact on our business, your base salary will increase accordingly.
• Share Purchase - As part of our commitment to providing our employees with opportunities to achieve their financial goals, we offer a share purchase plan that includes a company contribution. This plan enables you to invest in our company and potentially earn significant returns over time, as we strive to create opportunities for our employees to share in our success.

Physical

• Health Insurance - At P&G, we recognise that maintaining good health is paramount to achieving personal and professional success. As such, we offer comprehensive medical care benefits, including ensuring there are no waiting times for access to medical care, for our employees and their partner and dependents. With this benefit, our employees can have peace of mind knowing that they and their families are well taken care of in times of need.
   
• Fitness Support - At our company, we understand the importance of maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. That's why we offer access to fitness facilities either on-site or off-site. Whether you prefer to work out in your own time or take advantage of group classes, our fitness support program provides you with the resources and flexibility you need to prioritise your health.

Mental

• Employee Assistance Programs - We offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that provides confidential and accessible support to you and your family members via phone or chat. The EAP includes a range of services from therapeutic support to practical assistance such as tax or legal advice. Our EAP is designed to provide you with the resources and tools you need to manage personal and professional challenges, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
   
• Paid Time Off - At P&G, we understand the importance of work-life balance and the value of taking time away from work to recharge and refresh. That's why we offer competitive paid time off. We believe that by providing time for rest and relaxation, our people are able to perform at their highest level both professionally and personally.

Work-life Wellbeing 

• Flexible Work-Schedule - P&G employees lead dynamic lives, which is why we offer flexible work schedules. This allows you to choose your start and stop times within a specified framework, enabling you to align your work schedule with your personal needs and responsibilities.
   
• Paid Absences - At P&G, we understand that life can be unpredictable and we want to support you in navigating these unexpected events. In addition to our generous paid time off policy, we also offer specific paid time off allowances for events like jury duty, moving house, or caring for a sick child. We believe that taking care of yourself and your loved ones is important, and we want to help make that easier for you.
