Hints and tips pre-interview
We want you to be your best when you meet us for an interview. It's a conversation where we aim to learn more about you, and we recognise that you'll also want to learn more about us. This way, we can explore our joint goals and see where we align.
Here are some hints and tips for the interview:
- Carry out research on Aegon in the UK
- Understand our ‘best life behaviours’ which we need to demonstrate as part of our roles. They're fundamental to our organisational culture, the way we work and to our future success. Our three behaviours are:
- We tune in
- We step up
- We’re a force for good
- Prepare some questions to ask your interviewers. These can be about the role and/or about Aegon. We'd recommend writing these down pre-interview.
- Be ready to discuss your CV in detail, we’ll want to understand more about your experience.
- If your interview is in one of our offices – plan your journey. Make sure you know the interview location and how to get there on time, considering any potential travel delays.
- If your interview is virtual – find somewhere quiet where you won’t be interrupted. It's always safest to check your technology works in advance of the interview.
- When booking your interview, we will share a guide to help you prepare, you can also find it here.
AI – Our commitment to a human centred hiring process
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we work and live. It simplifies tasks, boosts efficiency, and supports smarter decision-making every day.
At Aegon we embrace AI as a tool to empower our people - helping them work more effectively and enabling us to deliver even better experiences for our customers and members.
When used responsibly and thoughtfully, AI can also help you strengthen your job application and showcase your best self.
- We believe in the power of human connection. That's why we ensure that every step of our hiring process is handled personally by our dedicated Talent Acquisition team.
- We do not use AI to review applications, schedule interviews, or make hiring decisions. Instead, we prioritise:
- Personalised application reviews: Each application is carefully reviewed by our experienced Talent Acquisition Consultants who understand the nuances of each candidate's unique background and skills.
- Human interaction: From the initial contact to the final interview, you will interact with real people who are genuinely interested in getting to know you and your potential fit within our team.
- Transparent communication: We value open and honest communication throughout the hiring process, ensuring you are always informed and supported.
- Dedicated support: A dedicated Talent Acquisition Coordinator will personally reach out to arrange your interviews and is available to answer any questions or provide support you may need - a real person to support you on your journey
Guidance for candidates
We encourage authenticity and genuine conversation during interviews. While AI tools can be helpful for preparation, we value real, human interaction.
You can use AI to help polish your CV, prepare for interviews, research our company, or explore career paths. Avoid relying on AI to create content without your input, make decisions for you, or automate applications - always ensure your skills and experience are a representation of you.’
Please note that we reserve the right to terminate an interview if we suspect AI technology is being used.
