Legal & General (L&G): application stages, tests and practice

L&G lists an online application, online assessments (strength-based behavioural questions and numerical questions) with a recorded video interview of motivational questions, a coaching call with the Future Talent recruitment team, and an assessment centre: a 45-minute interview with two assessors, a 15-minute presentation on a topic given in advance, and a scored group exercise. Its practice site, the L&G Preparation Zone, was developed with its talent partner Cappfinity. L&G says it does not use AI to make recruitment or hiring decisions in the Future Talent process.

Routes: L&G's Future Talent schemes (graduate, summer internship, year in industry and apprenticeship), from its Future Talent recruitment process page and FAQ. L&G says the steps can vary by programme. Summer Internship candidates sit only the interview and presentation at the assessment centre. L&G does not run a work experience programme.

Stages in order

What do the confidence badges mean?
  • Vendor-published Stated in the test publisher's own document or practice site.
  • Academic From peer-reviewed research.
  • Official employer Stated on the employer's own page.
  • Near-official Near-official: an employer-run practice portal, or a vendor or employer-quoted press release naming the employer.
  • Candidate-reported Reported by candidates. Treat as likely but unconfirmed.
  • Third-party From prep sites, press or forums. Not confirmed by the employer or publisher.

  1. Online application

    Official employer

    Apply through the L&G careers website with basic personal details and your educational background. The process page says there is an opportunity to share your CV, but the Future Talent FAQ says L&G does not accept CVs and assesses you on each stage instead. You can have only one active Future Talent application per recruitment cycle. L&G recruits on a rolling basis with no deadlines; most graduate roles open in October and internships in November.

  2. Online assessments and recorded video interview

    Official employer

    An online assessment of strength-based behavioural questions and numerical questions, and a video interview in which you answer motivational questions. A 2024 L&G graduate job advert described the cognitive part as verbal and numerical reasoning, sent straight after you apply. Assessments with video questions need a device with a working camera and microphone. L&G says you must submit your own responses and that using AI live in an assessment is prohibited. Time limits and question counts are not published on the pages read. L&G's own careers pages do not name the vendor; its Preparation Zone names Cappfinity as L&G's talent partner.

    Publisher: Cappfinity (named by the employer or an employer-run portal)

    Practise: Situational judgement test practice, Numerical reasoning test practice, Video interview practice, Cappfinity-style assessment practice

  3. Coaching call

    Official employer

    A call with the Future Talent recruitment team with tips on preparing for the assessment centre and what to expect on the day, and a chance to ask questions. It is described as preparation, not as an assessment.

    Sources: [1] [5]

  4. Assessment centre

    Official employer

    An interview, a presentation and a group exercise, in person or virtual depending on the role. Interview: two assessors, 45 minutes including time for your own questions (the 2024 advert called it a line manager interview). Presentation: topic given in advance, 15 minutes in total, 10 to present and 5 for assessors' questions. Group exercise: a scenario-based activity with other applicants, scored by the assessors; length not stated. Summer Internship candidates do only the interview and presentation. L&G gives indicative timings of December and January for graduates, January and February for interns, and March and April for apprentices.

    Practise: Assessment centre practice, Presentation exercise practice, Group exercise practice, Daily interview question

Retakes and validity

No retake rule is stated. L&G allows one active Future Talent application per recruitment cycle and may withdraw any additional applications.

What we could not verify

  • Whether Cappfinity runs the live assessments and video interview (L&G's careers pages name no vendor; Cappfinity is named as talent partner on the Preparation Zone)
  • Whether the current online assessment includes verbal reasoning (stated only in the 2024 advert)
  • Time limits, question counts and video answer timings
  • Group exercise length and the total length of the assessment centre
  • Differences for apprenticeship and year in industry routes
  • Whether a CV is requested (the process page and the FAQ disagree)
  • Named L&G values: none were found on the pages read
  • Retake rules
