Who do I contact if I have a problem with the system or with my application?

What format should my CV be in?
The system allows documents in all formats to be attached (up to a maximum of maximum file size of 1000KB), however to comply with Watson Wyatt’s IT infrastructure,
please attach your CV as either a Word or PDF document.
How do I search for current vacancies?
The system allows you to search on all current open jobs, or to set criteria against which to search such as 'Date Posted', 'Location' or certain 'Keywords' to try and best match existing opportunities to your specific requirements. The system also includes a 'Job Basket' function for you to store details of all vacancies that meet your requirements, and allows you to apply for more than one position at the same time if this is applicable.
Why do I need to check the 'Receive General Emails' box and the 'Receive Emails of Matching Jobs' box?
This is to enable you to receive system generated emails such as an acknowledgment email confirming that your application has been successfully received, additional
emails relating to the progress of your application, and also emails relating to any new job opportunities matching your requirements.
How do the Work Preferences work?
If you have checked the 'Receive emails of Matching Jobs' box, you will be sent any new opportunities that arise in Watson Wyatt that meet your
specified 'Work Preferences' (if you check this box but do not specify any work preferences you will be sent all new opportunities).
The more specific you are with your Work Preferences, the more limited the amount of new opportunities that will be sent through.
- If you add keywords you will receive any new opportunities that are added where your keyword(s) exists in the vacancy name or job description.
The system will recognise 'OR' if you wish to include more than one keyword, and the system will also recognise 'AND', but in this case all keywords
would need to be matched. (please note, using commas, or spaces to separate keywords works in the same way as 'AND').
- If you specify a Practice, you will only receive new opportunities that arise in that Practice.
- If you specify a Location, you will only receive new opportunities that arise in that Location.
- If you specify an Employment Category, you will only receive new opportunities that match that category, or where the Employment Category is set to 'either'.
- If you check only Employee or only Contract, you will only receive new opportunities that match these preferences.
What is the 'Allow Account to be Searched' button for?
This is to enable the Watson Wyatt recruitment team to be able to search your record in relation to any job opportunities.
Who will have access to my details once I register?
Once you register with Watson Wyatt, your personal details will be available to HR personnel only. If you apply for any specific vacancies,
your details will be visible to the recruiting team for that specific vacancy only.
If you get the following error message when trying to update your 'Personal Details'

When and how will I be notified if I have been successful?

these changes by logging into the system and checking the status history of your application. In addition, you will be notified by email
in the event that your application is terminated at any stage. If your application is successful, you will be informed by a member of the HR department directly.
If I previously applied to Watson Wyatt and was unsuccessful, can I re-apply?
If you apply for a vacancy and are not successful, you will not be able to apply for that particular vacancy again. However, if you
are registered on the Watson Wyatt recruitment system, and have specified your 'Work Preferences' and ticked 'Receive Emails of Matching Jobs',
you will be alerted of any new vacancies that meet your requirements.
There is no limit set within the system governing how many vacancies you are able to apply for, and the 'Job Basket' function allows
you to apply for more than one position at a time.
What if I need a work permit?
There is a section when completing your 'Personal Details' on your account that asks about any work permit requirements. If you do require
a work permit to work in the UK, please ensure that this is specified.
Can I submit my CV for general consideration if there is not an opening that suits my qualifications?
It is a mandatory requirement of registering on the Watson Wyatt recruitment system to upload a copy of your CV. If you ensure that you tick
'Allow Account to be Searched' (within the 'Email Preferences' section of your 'My Account'), Watson Wyatt will be able to search your
