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).
A recruiter may request you to complete a form that will allow us to do background checks on you. The purpose of background checks is to gather information about a candidate to determine whether the information presented to us was correct or if the candidate poses a risk to our organisation.
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.
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 youre 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.
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.
Once your completed online application has been submitted, it will be added to a central database and it may be accessed by the various Business Unit’s HR Recruitment Teams at any point during the year in which you’ve applied. You may, therefore, not have any feedback for a number of weeks or months after you have applied. Please also refer to the Business Units recruitment periods to gain a good understanding of when we will actively be recruiting during the year.
Surety: The Bursar’s Parents or Legal Guardians will be required to sign and accept a Deed of Suretyship for the payment of the Bursar’s obligations, where and if the Bursary Agreement is terminated, or if the Bursar chooses not to take up permanent employment with Anglo American once their studies have been successfully completed.
If a Bursar receives a merit award from their tertiary institution during their studies, Anglo American will permit the Bursar a maximum withdrawal of R 5 000.00 in cash, after written consent from the Company has been obtained. If the award is worth more than R 5 000.00, the balance amount will be put towards the Bursar’s tuition fees, thereby reducing the bursary contribution to the company.
Bursaries will be awarded for the period of study (one year), subject to the rights of the Company to review, suspend, reinstate or cancel the Bursary. Bursaries will be reviewed on a regular basis and ideally re-awarded annually provided the Bursar meets the academic requirements set for them, and conducts themselves in a manner that is deemed acceptable by the Bursar’s tertiary institution, as well as by Anglo American.
Where an Anglo American Bursary is awarded, the Company will require the Parents/Guardians to sign Surety*as per the Bursary Agreement. This surety is an undertaking by the Parents/Guardians that if the student does not fully meet the Bursary Contract, such as failing or not complying the Code of Conduct, then the Parents/Guardians will have to refund the awarded Bursary money to Anglo American. All communication will take place directly with the Bursar.
