Smart casual is highly recommended. We encourage our colleagues to bring their authentic selves to work with the flexibility of ‘dressing for your day’. We want you to feel comfortable during the process and to meet the ‘real you’. You will have the opportunity to discuss this prior to your interview, should you need any clarification.
