Assessment Days

Our assessment days aren't designed to catch you out. You will be involved in a range of tasks designed to showcase your experience and skills across a number of areas. For example, it is likely that you will be asked to complete a written exercise, have a short interview and work with others to complete a team challenge. There will be plenty of time for you to network with others and get a really good feel for the firm

We also recommend following us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram for the latest updates.

Polite note to agencies - VWV has made the financial investment to employ an in-house recruitment team to adopt a direct sourcing strategy which supports the future growth of the firm. If on occasion agency support is required for any of our live vacancies, introductions will only be deemed accepted if the agency has agreed to VWV's recruitment terms through our Recruitment Manager, Emma Forrester. We'd please ask that you do not send unsolicited introductions to our Partners or anyone else in the firm. Should we engage with your candidate through our own direct sourcing means, we reserve the right not to be bound by your terms and conditions should you do so without our consent.
