Careers at Lloyds

About Lloyds

Lloyds TSB are a leading Corporate Business who offer 200 opportunities to graduates each year. Due to the limited number of roles available, they have created a robust selection process to ensure the most suitable candidates are successful.

Lloyds Online Application

The first stage is completion of the online application process. This is fairly straightforward but does incorporate a handful of competency questions. This enables you to showcase the skills they are looking for, as well as your work ethic and current achievements. We would advise that you refer to the skill set required within the job description to ensure you can demonstrate each of these within your answers.

As part of the initial application process, you will also be invited to complete a Situational Judgement exercise. These tests look at how your respond to situations that occur within a normal working day. It will be down to your decision-making skills to determine the right course of action, and demonstrate your ability to act accordingly when working under high pressure.

If you are then successful in your application, you will be invited to complete a handful of aptitude tests. These are provided by one of the leading testing companies, SHL. Each of the tests are timed, and you will be allocated between 20-30 minutes to complete them.

Lloyds Numerical Reasoning Tests

This test is designed to assess your ability to work with numbers and apply basic mathematical concepts such as percentages, ratios and fractions.

Lloyds Verbal Reasoning Tests

Lloyds Inductive Reasoning Tests
