How does the candidate matching tool work?
The candidate matching tool guides you through a short questionnaire about your location, interests, studies and grades. Based on your responses, it checks if you're eligible to apply for a graduate or internship opportunity at bp. If you are, it’ll show you all the relevant live vacancies at the end.
What kind of roles can the tool suggest?
This tool focuses on graduate and internship opportunities only. If you're looking for other early career options – like apprenticeships or early engagement programmes – head over to our search and apply page to explore those roles.
Do I need to complete the questionnaire before applying?
Yes. To view and apply for graduate or internship roles, you’ll need to complete the candidate matching tool first. These opportunities will only appear if your answers show you're eligible.
What happens after I get my job matches?
Once you receive your matches, you can view the job descriptions and start your application right away.
