About BP's Recruitment Process

BP's own careers site describes a multi-stage process: an online application, a possible telephone or video screening, psychometric testing for some roles, and a final face-to-face stage that can include a competency interview, a technical assessment, and an assessment centre. BP is documented elsewhere as using HireVue for its on-demand video interviews, but BP does not name the publisher of its situational-judgement or numerical and verbal reasoning tests on its own careers pages, and no verified source confirms who supplies them. Some prep sites name a specific test publisher, but the evidence behind that claim is too weak to repeat here.

What the Process Generally Measures

  • Situational judgement: how you would respond to realistic workplace scenarios
  • Numerical reasoning: interpreting data, tables, and figures relevant to energy and engineering work
  • Verbal reasoning: understanding and evaluating written information
  • On-demand video responses: structured answers to competency-style questions, recorded without a live interviewer
  • Alignment with BP's stated values of safety, respect, excellence, courage, and one team

Top Tips for BP's Process

Practice situational judgement

BP operates in a high-stakes, safety-critical industry, so situational-judgement questions often revolve around risk, safety, and teamwork. Practicing the general skill of ranking responses to workplace scenarios transfers to this stage, even without BP's specific test content.

Sharpen numerical reasoning under time pressure

Whatever the specific publisher, timed numerical reasoning tests share a common format: interpreting tables and figures quickly and accurately. Regular timed practice builds the speed this requires.

Prepare for on-demand video

Recorded video interviews require concise, structured answers without the cues of a live conversation. Rehearsing competency-style answers out loud beforehand helps you stay within time and stay on topic.

Find a quiet environment

Both the testing and video stages are completed unsupervised online. Interruptions cost you time you cannot get back, so set aside an uninterrupted block before you start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does BP use Arctic Shores?

There is no verified evidence that BP uses Arctic Shores. BP's own careers pages describe psychometric testing generically, without naming a publisher, and BP's documented video interview stage runs on HireVue, a video platform rather than a psychometric test provider.

Who publishes BP's psychometric tests?

BP does not disclose this on its own careers site. Your talent acquisition contact will explain the process and give you guidance if testing is required for your role; treat that communication, not third-party prep sites, as the authoritative source.

Is practicing helpful for BP's process?

Yes. Practicing situational judgement, numerical reasoning, and structured video-interview responses builds skills that transfer to BP's process, even though we cannot simulate BP's exact test content or interview questions.
