What They Offer
Important notice: They’ve recently become aware of a recruitment scam in which candidates are asked to be interviewed on Google Hangouts.

Likewise, if you’re unsure if the person you’re speaking to is genuinely an AXA recruiter or the job you’re applying for is legitimately from AXA, please get in touch and they can check for you. They cannot be held responsible for any interviews conducted without their knowledge and authorisation. If you’re unsure and would like some advice, feel free to get in touch with their recruitment team.
