Please apply online by clicking the 'Apply Now' link on the Ignite Program page when applications are open. Make sure you have an updated CV ready for your application.

As part of your application, we’ll ask you for your initial impressions on a preferred business area within Deloitte that you may be interested in joining. We encourage you to do your research by reviewing our business areas.

Initial research
We encourage you to do some initial research into our business, beginning with the brief descriptions and page links to each area within 'The work you'll do' section of our Ignite Program page.

Don't worry. We don't expect you to be across every opportunity in our business. As you progress through the eligibility and assessment stages, our team will contact you to help match your skills and areas of interest and study into a suitable team area.


Tips from our team

Our Talent Acquisition team will review your online application. They will assess your skills and experience against our global talent standards to see if you match the key selection criteria.

After your application is reviewed, a Talent Acquisition team member will contact you for a conversation. This is your chance to ask questions about the role, the program, and Deloitte.

You can check the status of your application at any time by visiting ‘My Profile’ on our jobs board to log into your candidate profile and select the ‘Jobs Applied’ tab.

Interviews are conducted either face-to-face or virtually. They are competency-based and are conducted by experienced interviewers.

This stage will involve a more in-depth discussion regarding your technical and motivational fit for the role, team, and Deloitte. This will be with a Partner or senior leader. You may also be required to complete additional interviews and/or a case study presentation.

If you’ve been successful in progressing to the final stage of an employment offer:

• The Talent Acquisition team member will make a verbal offer.
• On offer approval, this is followed by a written offer accessible via a confidential online portal.
• This portal allows you to access details of the offer and employment conditions.
• The offer of employment is conditional, pending the successful completion of your pre-employment checks.

Pre-employment checks
Deloitte or our external third-party provider conducts pre-employment checks and background screening following the verbal offer process. These include employment references, work rights checks, criminal history checks and education checks.

We use the Behavioural Event Interview (BEI) technique, which focuses on how you responded to specific professional situations in the past to understand your working style and approach to solving problems.

We use various BEI-based interview questions that differ depending on the business area and the role we’re hiring for. These questions are a great way to demonstrate your skills, experience, and industry knowledge with real-life examples and showcase the impact you want to make at Deloitte.​

Responding to behavioural questions

We recommend using the S.T.A.R. framework to answer our behavioural interview questions. This framework will help you provide a well-structured and comprehensive response by breaking down your answers into four key components:

• Situation (S): This is the opening part of your response, where you set the scene by describing the context or situation you were in. You should briefly explain the circumstances, the background, and any relevant details. This helps the interviewer understand the context of the scenario.​
• Task (T): In this section, you explain the specific task or challenge that you were confronted with in that situation. This is where you clarify what you need to achieve or the problem that needs to be addressed.
  
• Action (A): This is the core of your response, describing your actions to address the situation and fulfil the task. It's important to be specific and focus on your individual contributions. Explain the steps you took, the skills you applied, and the decisions you made.​
  
• Result (R): In this final section, you discuss the outcomes of your actions. Explain what happened as a result of your efforts. This can include quantitative and qualitative results, such as increased sales, improved efficiency, higher customer satisfaction, or successful project completion.

For some areas of our business, you may be asked to prepare for a case study as part of our selection process. Our Talent Acquisition Specialists will provide more information and guidance on this if needed during your interview stages.

Case studies assess your ability to work in our management consulting environment. They are an opportunity to demonstrate your various skills, including problem-solving, creativity, logical thinking, analytical reasoning, time management, communication, technical knowledge, and project delivery experience.
