How to Get Hired at The Guardian

• The Guardian's underlying ATS is Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM, branded as Guardian Careers and hosted in Oracle's EU region. The workwithus.theguardian.com site is a custom WordPress front-end that funnels every applicant into the same Oracle system.
• Ownership matters and shapes everything. Guardian Media Group plc is wholly owned by the Scott Trust Limited, which exists in perpetuity to secure editorial and financial independence. There are no external shareholders. CEO Anna Bateson runs the business; Editor-in-chief Katharine Viner runs the journalism, and the two roles are deliberately separated.
