How the Sage process works
Sage’s graduate adverts set out the early-careers process. Everything below comes from Sage’s own advert text unless labeled otherwise:
- 1
Online application with your CV
Apply on Sage’s careers site with your CV or résumé. Sage’s 2025 UK graduate adverts covered Product & Tech, Global Security, People and Finance; the Product & Tech scheme was based in Newcastle, three office days a week.

Gamified assessment via Harver (pymetrics)
Sage: "Complete a gamified science-driven assessment via Harver, to help us accurately assess if you’re aligned to our values and behaviours, whilst removing any risk of unconscious bias from our process." The games measure how you behave, not what you know.
- 3
Recorded video interview
"If you match the profile, you’ll be sent a video interview to record." Sage warns that high application volumes can delay its response to your video interview.
- 4
Assessment centre
"If your video interview is successful, you’ll be invited to an Assessment Centre at one of our Sage offices." Some adverts describe a virtual assessment centre instead.
- 5
Offer and start
The 2025 Product & Tech Graduate advert gave a start date of 6 October 2025. Sage publishes start dates in each advert, so check yours.

Harver acquired pymetrics in 2022, which is why Sage’s adverts say "via Harver" while its talent VP names pymetrics. They describe the same games platform.

What candidates report
An August 2025 Glassdoor report from a Dublin applicant describes the first stage as a gamified assessment of about ten short mini-games, each simple and quick to complete.
Other Glassdoor reports describe a pymetrics test followed by a video interview, and advise reading the values and skills in the job description before the video stage.
Forum reports are individual experiences, quoted or paraphrased with links where available — treat them as texture, not policy.
