How the Protégé Process will Work

Please find below an outline of how the process works in five stages. Should you have any questions relating to the rules and regulations please email protege@uk.rlb.com for further clarification.

Stage 1 - Review the eligibility criteria and answer the questions to confirm your eligibility.

Stage 2 - After reviewing the eligibility criteria you will be able to assess whether or not you are eligible for entry into Protege 2012:

If not eligible, you may still wish to continue with the self-selection and application process as you could still be considered for our general graduate/intern and summer placement positions, but you will not be eligible to take part in the later stages of the Protégé 2012 process.
If eligible, you should continue with the application process by successfully completing the self-selection questions and then proceed to complete a competency based questionnaire/application form for submission by the deadline of 15 January 2012.
On receipt of your completed questionnaire/application form you will receive an acknowledgement from RLB.

Stage 3 - If successful, you will be invited to undertake a further remote test / telephone interview from December 2011 onwards, after which you will be informed within 21 working days as to whether you are through to the next stage of the process.

Stage 4 - If successful, you will be invited to a formal assessment centre in early February 2012 in our London office. If you make it successfully through this process offers of employment will be made to the successful candidates and those who formally accept offers will be eligible to progress to the next stage.

Stage 5 - The final stage of the Protégé process will take the form of a fun business day with David Bucknall (the Chairman) meeting other previous Protégés, which will take place in early Summer 2012 at the RICS Headquarters in Westminster.
