Key takeaways

Dyson's early-careers Digital Assessment runs on HireVue: a video interview, a game-based assessment and, for some programs, a coding challenge.
Dyson never names the games and no verified candidate report does either; practice the HireVue formats broadly and trust your invitation.
The invitation email has a 'Practice or Interview' button with three practice questions you can redo without limit; HireVue then sends a personalized competency report.
Next is the Final Stage Interview: a technical exercise or business challenge plus situational and motivational questions.

The Dyson hiring process at a glance

1Online application — Apply on careers.dyson.com — Dyson does not accept CVs by email or in person. You may apply to more than one program but must choose one before the final interview. Graduates need no more than two years of relevant post-graduation experience; internships are for second-year students and above; PhD students are not eligible.Deadlines and windows
2Initial screening — Dyson’s wording: "After an initial screening, you may be invited to take a Digital Assessment." Dyson says it cannot give feedback at these early stages because of application volume.
3Digital Assessment on HireVue — One stage, several parts: a video interview, a game-based assessment, and for some programs a coding challenge. The invitation email carries a "Practice or Interview" button with three generic practice questions you can redo as many times as you need.What is known about the games The interview questions
4Final Stage Interview — Dyson: "a technical exercise or business challenge as well as situational/motivational questions." This is the stage where Early Careers representatives offer personalized feedback.
5Dyson Institute undergraduates: a different process entirely — A separate, non-UCAS admissions route run by a separate institution: a ~15-minute game-based psychometric assessment and a ~30-minute technical assessment, then an in-person assessment day at Malmesbury.

What to expect in the Dyson assessment

This is the section where most Dyson pages go wrong. Dyson confirms that its Digital Assessment includes a game-based assessment, and it does not say which games. No candidate report we could verify names them either. So there is no lineup to list here, and listing one would be inventing it.

What follows is the one honest entry — practice the HireVue game formats broadly rather than drilling a lineup nobody has established — plus the separate, officially documented Institute assessment for undergraduate applicants.

HireVue game-based assessment (specific games not publicly established)

Category practice

Official source

Dyson states that the Digital Assessment "includes a video interview, game-based assessment, and even a coding challenge for some programmes", and separately names HireVue as its partner platform at that stage. That establishes that a HireVue game-based assessment exists; it does not establish which games, how many, or how long they run.

Our HireVue hub lets you work through the whole format family — memory, numerical, pattern and work-style exercises — so that whichever set your invitation names, the controls and the adaptive difficulty are already familiar. This is category practice, not a claim about Dyson’s configuration.

Dyson Institute undergraduate route: a ~15-minute game-based psychometric (different process)

Category practice

Official source

For the Dyson Institute degree apprenticeship only, the Institute publishes what its own game-based assessment covers: about 15 minutes, assessing "how you work with information and people, your personality and work style" plus numerical ability and the behaviors in the non-academic entry requirements, and accessible on almost any device. It sits alongside a technical assessment of up to 30 minutes — multiple choice, written by Dyson engineers and Institute academics, applying A Level Maths to real Dyson engineering problems.

The Institute names no vendor and no game titles. Our HireVue hub offers general practice for the psychometric half; the technical half is best prepared by working A Level Maths problems under a clock.

Good to know: No game on this site is confirmed to be part of Dyson’s battery, because Dyson has never published one. Anything you read that gives Dyson a confident game list, a question count, a number of game sessions or per-answer timings is stating prep-site convention as fact — none of it appears in Dyson’s FAQ or in any candidate report we could verify. Your invitation email is the only binding description of what you are sitting. If it names exercises, practice those, and tell us so this page can be tightened.

The Dyson video interview: researched questions

Our Dyson question set supports preparation for the video interview stages described in this guide. Each question is labeled by its evidence: officially published, candidate-reported, or a practice question written for this company or role. Use the timed mock to practice answering aloud.

Which Dyson roles and programs does this guide cover?

Dyson is one of the few employers that names its assessment vendor in its own words. The early-careers FAQ tells candidates that adjustments at the Digital Assessment stage are requested "directly on our partner platform, HireVue", and that "HireVue will send you a personalised report that summarises your performance in each of the competencies assessed".

The same FAQ describes the Digital Assessment as "a comprehensive assessment process that includes a video interview, game-based assessment, and even a coding challenge for some programmes". Two archived snapshots five months apart carry identical wording, so this is the current configuration rather than a stale page.

What Dyson does not do is name the games. Nothing on any Dyson page, in HireVue’s own material, or in any candidate report we could fetch identifies a single game title in Dyson’s battery. Descriptions of specific Dyson games that circulate elsewhere trace back to prep-site convention rather than evidence, and this page will not repeat them. Practice the HireVue game formats generally and let your invitation email tell you the lineup.

Three scoping points before you read on. First, the HireVue claim is an early-careers claim: it appears in the Early Careers FAQ, and the experienced-hire accounts we read describe conventional recruiter screens and panel interviews with no platform named.

Second, this is a global process, not a UK one — Dyson runs graduate programs in China, Europe, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and the UK, internships in Malaysia, Singapore, the UK and the US, and apprenticeships in the UK only, and Dyson itself cautions that "depending on the programme you have applied to, there may be some variation in the process".

Third, the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology is a separate higher education institution with degree awarding powers and its own direct admissions route, not a UK graduate sub-brand — do not assume the graduate-side HireVue confirmation applies there.

Graduate programs (two years)

Two-year graduate programs across engineering, Create (creative, e-commerce and digital innovation, marketing), Support (communications, customer service, finance, IT, legal and IP, people, procurement, property, sales) and retail families. Officially offered in China, Europe, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Entry bar: no more than two years of relevant post-graduation work experience.

Internships and placements

Live-project internships and placements that can convert into a full-time graduate role. Officially offered in Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. Open to students in their second year of study and above; PhD students are not eligible.

Official source

Apprenticeships

A range of apprenticeships across business functions, worked alongside in-house experts and selected training providers. Officially offered in the United Kingdom only. UK early-careers sites are Malmesbury, Hullavington and Bristol — Malmesbury and Hullavington form the technology campus with Dyson’s largest research, design and development center, and Bristol is the software and technology hub.

Official source

Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology — MEng (Hons) Engineering (International)

A four-year degree apprenticeship and a genuinely separate route: a separate institution, registered with the Office for Students with full taught degree awarding powers, with its own direct (non-UCAS) application. Undergraduate Engineers are permanently employed Dyson staff and part-time Institute students: no tuition fees, a starting salary of £23,500 rising yearly, first-year accommodation in Dyson Village at £650 a month deducted from salary, and 12 months in Asia in year three.

Graduates commit to a minimum two years of full-time Dyson employment or repay £60,000.

Dyson Institute entry requirements

AAB at A Level including an A in Mathematics, an A in a STEM subject and a B in another, plus GCSE grade C/4 in English. Applicants without A Level Physics must pass a roughly 10-day Physics Summer School, typically in the first two weeks of July, as a condition of the offer.

Offers are conditional and also require employment checks run by Dyson Technology Ltd: ID verification, right to work, National Insurance, an adverse media check and a basic DBS check.

Experienced hires and non-early-career roles

Nothing we found establishes an assessment platform for Dyson’s experienced-hire recruitment in any region. Dyson’s HireVue naming sits specifically in the Early Careers FAQ, and the experienced-hire candidate accounts we read describe recruiter screens and panel interviews without naming any platform. If you are applying to a senior role, do not assume a game battery is coming.

How does the Dyson assessment work?

HireVue is the platform, in Dyson’s own words

Official source

Dyson’s early-careers FAQ names HireVue twice. On adjustments: "At the Digital Assessment stage, you can request for adjustments directly on our partner platform, HireVue", with 25% extra time granted. On feedback: "HireVue will send you a personalised report that summarises your performance in each of the competencies assessed." The phrase "our partner platform" is Dyson’s, not ours. An archived December 2025 snapshot of the same FAQ carries word-identical wording, so the naming is stable across the cycle.

Source: Dyson Careers — Frequently Asked Questions (archived 10 April 2026)

The Digital Assessment has three possible parts

Official source

Dyson describes "a comprehensive assessment process that includes a video interview, game-based assessment, and even a coding challenge for some programmes". The games and the recorded questions sit inside the same HireVue-delivered stage. Dyson does not say which programs get the coding challenge, and it does not name the coding product. HireVue’s own 2019 write-up describes Dyson as a CodeVue customer at that time, but nothing current connects the two by name.

Source: Dyson Careers — Frequently Asked Questions (archived 10 April 2026)

Which games Dyson uses is not publicly established

No evidence found

Dyson confirms that a game-based assessment exists and names none of the games. No official Dyson page, no HireVue material and no candidate report we could fetch identifies a single title, a game count, a question count or any timing. You will find pages elsewhere that give a confident lineup with per-question timings; those numbers are prep-site convention presented as reported fact, and we are not repeating them. The invitation email is the only document that tells you what you are actually sitting.

There is practice built into the invitation itself

Official source

Dyson’s FAQ describes the invitation email as carrying a "Practice or Interview" button. The practice route offers three generic practice questions that you can redo as many times as you like before starting the real assessment. Use it — it is free rehearsal inside the real interface, and it costs you nothing in the scored attempt.

Source: Dyson Careers — Frequently Asked Questions (archived 10 April 2026)

Every Digital Assessment candidate gets a personalized report

Official source

This is unusual. Most employers give one-line rejections at the online-assessment stage; Dyson states that HireVue sends a personalized report summarizing your performance in each competency assessed. Dyson separately says it cannot give individual feedback at the application and screening stages because of volume, and that Early Careers representatives offer personalized feedback at the Final Stage Interview.

Source: Dyson Careers — Frequently Asked Questions (archived 10 April 2026)

Adjustments: 25% extra time, requested inside HireVue

Official source

At the Digital Assessment stage you request adjustments through a "Request Accommodations" button on HireVue itself, and Dyson grants 25% extra time. For the Final Stage Interview the route is different: tell your Early Careers representative rather than going through the platform.

Source: Dyson Careers — Frequently Asked Questions (archived 10 April 2026)

The HireVue claim is early careers only

Single source

Dyson names HireVue in its Early Careers FAQ. Nothing establishes a platform for experienced-hire or non-early-career recruitment, in any region. A Philippines graduate-engineer account independently describes a one-way video interview where "you're not talking to another person, instead the recording is analyzed by a program and it will give you feedback" — consistent with the HireVue stage and its report — which suggests the stage applies outside the UK, though Dyson itself warns the process varies by program.

The relationship goes back to 2019, on HireVue’s own telling

Official source

HireVue’s write-up of its first European Summit in London, February 2019, describes Dyson as already a HireVue video interviewing and CodeVue customer that then adopted HireVue’s game-based assessments, presented by Dyson’s Global Head of Early Careers. That is useful for establishing where the relationship came from, not for what the battery contains now — it is seven years old, and the current-cycle claim rests on Dyson’s own FAQ.

Source: HireVue blog — Highlights of the First HireVue European Summit in London (2019)

The Dyson Institute names no vendor at all

Official source

The Institute’s own applying page describes a game-based psychometric assessment of about 15 minutes and a technical assessment of up to 30 minutes, and names no assessment vendor anywhere — zero mentions of any platform. Candidates in the 2026 cycle reported that their online-assessment invitation email was powered by HireVue, but Dyson has not confirmed this officially for that route, and it is a separate admissions process run by a separate team. Do not transfer the graduate-side confirmation onto it.

What happens in the Dyson hiring process?

Graduate, internship and apprenticeship route: Dyson’s own four steps

This is the process Dyson publishes for its early-careers programs, in its own order.

1Apply through careers.dyson.com. Dyson does not accept CVs sent by email or handed in person. You may apply to more than one program, but you must choose one before the final interview.
2Initial screening. Dyson’s wording: "After an initial screening, you may be invited to take a Digital Assessment." No individual feedback is given at this stage because of application volume.
3Digital Assessment on HireVue: a video interview, a game-based assessment, and for some programs a coding challenge. Use the "Practice or Interview" button first — three generic practice questions, repeatable as many times as you want. Request adjustments through "Request Accommodations" on HireVue; 25% extra time is granted.
4Final Stage Interview: "a technical exercise or business challenge as well as situational/motivational questions." Adjustments for this stage are arranged by telling your Early Careers representative, not through the platform. Personalized feedback is available here.

What the video interview asks about

Dyson publishes the shape of its questions rather than the questions themselves. Our researched question set for Dyson is at /hirevue/questions/dyson.

1Motivation: why Dyson, why this program, and how you would contribute. Dyson explicitly asks candidates to explain their interest in the role.
2Competency prompts of the "tell us about a time" kind. Dyson’s own advice is to draw on projects, hobbies, student clubs and societies, interest groups and work — not only formal employment.
3Scenario-based questions designed to reveal decision-making and problem-solving, rather than to test knowledge.
4Practice first. The invitation carries three generic practice questions you can redo without limit before the scored attempt — the cheapest rehearsal available anywhere in this process.
5Dyson publishes no question count and no per-answer timing, and neither does any candidate report we could verify. Prepare concise answers and let the interface tell you the limits.

The Final Stage Interview, and what candidates report it covers

Dyson names the two components; candidate accounts fill in what the technical half actually looks like.

1A technical exercise or a business challenge, depending on the program — Dyson’s own wording.
2Situational and motivational questions alongside it.
3For engineering roles, candidate accounts describe engineering fundamentals: heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, strength of materials and statistics.
4Walking through your own work. One account describes presenting an engineering portfolio, and several describe interviewers probing the reasoning behind a design that was submitted rather than the design itself.
5Recurring openers across candidate accounts: why Dyson, an achievement you are proud of, and the biggest challenge you have faced. Aggregate Glassdoor figures put the overall Dyson hiring process at around 50 days across 284 reports, with difficulty around 3 out of 5.

Dyson Institute undergraduate route: four stages, and a separate institution

If you are applying for the MEng degree apprenticeship rather than a graduate program, this is your process. It is run by a separate institution with its own admissions team, and you apply directly rather than through UCAS — so you can keep your UCAS offers running alongside.

1Stage 1 — Application. An online form covering academic background and your GCSE (or equivalent) English grade, submitted directly to the Institute.
2Stage 2 — Online assessments, about 60 minutes in total: a game-based psychometric assessment of about 15 minutes, and a technical assessment of up to 30 minutes, multiple choice, applying A Level Maths to real Dyson engineering problems. Candidates in the 2026 cycle reported the two arrived as separate links, technical first, and that their invitation email was powered by HireVue — Dyson has not confirmed a vendor for this route.
3Stage 3 — Virtual interview, about 20 minutes with a member of the Institute team, focused on your motivation to start an international career at Dyson. Treat the stage list as changeable: one candidate reported a Dyson webinar saying that cycle would skip the interview "despite it previously being said so on the website". Trust your own invitation over any published stage list, ours included.
4Stage 4 — Assessment day, in person at Malmesbury. Morning: a group task of about 45 minutes solving a Dyson problem with a team, which the Institute states is explicitly NOT assessed; a technical interview of about 45 minutes led jointly by a Dyson engineer and an Institute academic on applying A Level Maths to real engineering; and a strengths-based interview of about 45 minutes led by an Institute team member with Dyson HR. Afternoon: meeting current undergraduates and staff and seeing Dyson Village accommodation. Travel and accommodation are reimbursed up to £150 (UK excluding Northern Ireland), £250 (Northern Ireland and Europe) and £1,000 (international).
5Moderation and outcome. The Institute team reviews final-stage applicants against a scoring matrix in a moderation meeting, then notifies by email or phone. Unsuccessful candidates can request a feedback call covering the day and the whole process. Candidates invited to an assessment day get a phone call with feedback on their online assessment plus a preparation video, and applicants eligible for the contextual admissions program get group coaching before the interview and an individual prep call before the day.

When is the Dyson assessment?

Dyson publishes no single global early-careers deadline — graduate, internship and apprenticeship vacancies open and close individually on careers.dyson.com, and Dyson tells applicants the live vacancy list is the source. The Dyson Institute is the opposite: it runs one dated cycle a year. The Institute dates below are from the 2026-entry cycle, which is closed; 2027-entry dates had not been published as of September 2026, so treat them as indicative of the shape of the cycle, not as dates to apply against.

Cycle	Application dates	Likely assessment window	Evidence
Graduate, internship and apprenticeship vacancies (all regions)	Per vacancy — no cycle-wide date	After initial screening; use the deadline in your Digital Assessment invitation	Official source Dyson does not run one global window. Vacancies open and close individually, and some regions run register-your-interest listings ahead of a cycle rather than dated windows — a Philippines graduate and internship listing invited expressions of interest with a 12-week internship running May to July, for example. Check the specific posting rather than assuming a cycle-wide date, and note that Dyson’s job descriptions do not describe the selection process at all.

Candidate reports from this window are worth heeding for next cycle: links went out late because of "unforeseen technical issues", the technical assessment arrived first and separately from the game-based one, and some candidates were still waiting on the second link days before the deadline.

How to prepare for the Dyson assessment process

Work out which route you are on first, because the two Dyson processes prepare differently. Graduate, internship and apprenticeship applicants face a HireVue Digital Assessment whose game list is not published — so preparation means format breadth, not drilling a specific lineup. Dyson Institute applicants face a published, dated two-part online assessment, and the technical half is straightforwardly revisable: A Level Maths applied to engineering problems, under a 30-minute clock.

The single highest-value thing on the graduate side costs you nothing: Dyson’s invitation email carries a "Practice or Interview" button with three generic practice questions you can redo as many times as you want. Do that before the scored attempt, every time. Our practice metrics track your improvement across the HireVue formats; Dyson publishes no scoring model and no cutoff, only that HireVue sends you a personalized competency report afterwards.

1. Identify your route before you prepare anything

Graduate, internship or apprenticeship: HireVue Digital Assessment, game list unpublished, then a Final Stage Interview with a technical exercise or business challenge. Dyson Institute MEng: a separate non-UCAS process with a ~15-minute game-based psychometric, a ~30-minute A Level Maths technical assessment, and an in-person assessment day at Malmesbury.

2. Use the three free practice questions in the invitation

Dyson’s FAQ describes a "Practice or Interview" button with three generic practice questions, repeatable without limit. Run them until the recording interface stops being distracting. Nothing else in this process lets you rehearse inside the real environment at zero cost.

3. Build format breadth on the HireVue games, not a lineup

Because Dyson names no games, the efficient bet is one run through each HireVue format family — memory, numerical, pattern and work-style — so that no set of instructions is unfamiliar on the day. Every game shows instructions first and opens with easier warm-up levels, and difficulty adapts upward, so a level that suddenly feels brutal usually means you are scoring well.

4. Prepare recorded answers separately from game practice

Outline concise spoken examples for why Dyson, why this specific program, a time you solved a problem, and a scenario about a decision you had to make. Dyson explicitly invites examples from projects, hobbies, societies and interest groups, not only formal work. Our researched question set for Dyson is at /hirevue/questions/dyson.

5. Request adjustments in the right place

For the Digital Assessment, use the "Request Accommodations" button inside HireVue — Dyson grants 25% extra time. For the Final Stage Interview, tell your Early Careers representative instead; that stage is not arranged through the platform.

6. Prepare the technical half of the final stage properly

Dyson says the Final Stage Interview includes a technical exercise or a business challenge. Engineering candidates report heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, strength of materials and statistics, and several describe defending the reasoning behind a design they submitted. Be able to explain your own projects in terms of the decisions you made, not just the outcome.

7. Dyson Institute applicants: revise A Level Maths under a clock, and engage in the group task

The ~30-minute technical assessment is multiple choice, written by Dyson engineers and Institute academics, applying A Level Maths to real Dyson engineering problems. Separately, the assessment-day group task of about 45 minutes is explicitly not assessed — worth knowing, because it means you can engage with it genuinely instead of performing.

8. Do not plan around the last day of a window

In the 2026 Institute cycle, assessment links went out late because of technical issues, arrived separately, and some candidates were still waiting days before the deadline. On the graduate side, deadlines live in your individual invitation. Start early enough that a delayed link is an inconvenience rather than a lost application.

Dyson assessment FAQ

Does Dyson use HireVue?

Yes, for early careers. Dyson’s own early-careers FAQ calls HireVue "our partner platform" at the Digital Assessment stage, both for requesting adjustments and for the personalized report HireVue sends afterwards. That covers graduate programs, internships and apprenticeships. Nothing establishes a platform for Dyson’s experienced-hire recruitment.

What games are in the Dyson assessment?

Dyson does not say, and no candidate report we could verify names them. Dyson confirms the Digital Assessment "includes a video interview, game-based assessment, and even a coding challenge for some programmes" and stops there. Pages that give a confident Dyson game list are stating prep-site convention as fact. Practice the HireVue game formats broadly and let your invitation name the set.

How many questions and how long is the Dyson video interview?

Dyson publishes neither, and neither does any candidate report we could verify. The FAQ does confirm that the invitation email carries a "Practice or Interview" button with three generic practice questions you can redo as many times as you need, so you can see the interface and the timings before your scored attempt.

Does Dyson give feedback if I fail the assessment?

At the Digital Assessment stage, yes — unusually. Dyson states that "HireVue will send you a personalised report that summarises your performance in each of the competencies assessed". At the application and initial screening stages Dyson says it cannot give individual feedback because of volume, and at the Final Stage Interview an Early Careers representative offers personalized feedback.

Can I get extra time on the Dyson assessment?

Yes. At the Digital Assessment stage you request adjustments through a "Request Accommodations" button on HireVue itself, and Dyson grants 25% extra time. For the Final Stage Interview, tell your Early Careers representative instead — that stage is arranged directly rather than through the platform.

Is the Dyson Institute application the same process as a Dyson graduate job?

No. The Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology is a separate higher education institution with its own degree awarding powers, and you apply to it directly rather than through UCAS. Its process is an application, a two-part online assessment (a ~15-minute game-based psychometric and a ~30-minute A Level Maths technical assessment), a short virtual interview, and an in-person assessment day at Malmesbury. The Institute’s own pages name no assessment vendor, although candidates in the 2026 cycle reported their invitation email was powered by HireVue.

When can I apply to Dyson?

For graduate programs, internships and apprenticeships there is no single global deadline — vacancies open and close individually on careers.dyson.com, and some regions run register-your-interest listings instead of dated windows. The Dyson Institute runs one dated cycle: for 2026 entry it ran 15 December 2025 to 14 January 2026, with assessments in January, interviews in February and assessment days in March. 2027-entry dates had not been published as of September 2026.

Is any other assessment vendor involved in Dyson hiring?

Not on any evidence we could find. The only platform Dyson names anywhere is HireVue, in its early-careers FAQ. We checked the client lists published by the other major game-assessment vendors and the candidate accounts we could reach, and none of them supports a second vendor at Dyson. If your invitation email names a platform we have not listed, that email is the authority, not this page.
