Please note - In recent weeks there has been an increase in suspicious email activity from people masquerading as recruiters for AstraZeneca.

These have been using very realistic looking material, imitating AstraZeneca people, involving fake offers of employment and asking for the exchange of money and credit card details.

AstraZeneca will never ask for money at any point in our recruitment process. If you are approached in this way, please ignore it. For further help and support please refer to the following:

Absolutely not. You will never be asked for any form of payment as part of our recruitment process. Please be alert to persons fraudulently posing as Astra Zeneca employees or recruiters. We are aware of instances where fraudsters have requested personal information or made job offers, then asked for payment towards administration fees or accommodation costs.

If you are concerned that you may have received a fraudulent communication, please email MyHR.UK@AstraZeneca.com providing information about the job you have applied for details of the suspicious communication.

One of our recruiters will be in touch if you have the requirements for the role – we always endeavour to give you some notification either by email or phone where appropriate.

If successful for this stage there will typically be an interview process which we encourage to be a 2 way process. We are a company with strong values so also use these in our selection processes.

For certain positions, particularly in graduate roles, we may invite you to take part in a game-based assessment, a video or telephone interview or an assessment day or a combination of all three. Assessment events give you the opportunity to take part in situations that reflect the position you applied for. These events will enable you to fairly demonstrate your natural skills and competencies.

Wherever possible we prefer that you apply online. This makes our application process more efficient and helps us get back to all candidates quicker. We can only accept paper applications if you have no other way to apply online.

Yes, please apply for all roles you are interested in. However, once you have applied for a role with us, your profile will be stored in the system and you can access it using your email and password.

Shortly after submitting your application, you’ll receive an email acknowledgment. We’ll review your application as quickly as possible, but if there’s a specific application deadline, you’re unlikely to hear from us until after that time. You can also check the status of your application by logging into our application system.

This can vary depending on each particular vacancy. If your application has reached the interview stage or beyond, you will usually receive feedback within 14 days from the closing date for the role. We are unable to provide feedback to candidates who have been rejected prior to an interview. Once you have created your profile, you can check your application status by logging in.

Please email the appropriate country Recruitment/HR Team (or contact us via the AstraZeneca switchboard). You will need to give us a detailed description of the problem and include screen shots, if possible. This will help us quickly act on your request.

If you want to withdraw your application once it’s been submitted, you will need to contact your Local Recruitment Team.

The timing will vary, we will endeavour to share feedback as soon as we can. If successful a member of our HR or Recruitment teams will send you contractual information along with other important information regarding AstraZeneca and your new position.

We would always recommend that you ensure that you are happy with your CV/resume and application before you submit it to ensure that your most up to date documents are considered.

Your details will be reviewed by a recruiting team. Once this has happened, we’ll let you know and we may ask you to apply for the role directly.

• Will you be able to perform well at the job?
• Do you have the potential to progress and lead?
• Are you enthusiastic and motivated?
• Will you work well in a team?

Of course, as an interview is a two-way process and you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Tell us more about yourself, including your skills and experience.
• Learn more about the position, the company, our culture and our values.
• Practice your interview technique and build self-awareness.

Yes, we will reimburse your expenses if you travel more than 100km for an interview. You will be reimbursed for approved travel expenses by completing the appropriate form in your interview packet and returning it in the self-addressed envelope provided.

You need to bring valid identification and a copy of your resume/CV. In some geographies, copies of documentation to support your educational qualification and previous employer may also be necessary. You may also want to bring writing samples if writing is a key requirement for the role.

Normally, you should submit your application in the same language as the job advert for the role you are applying to.
