How we hire

At Deloitte, how we work matters as much as what we deliver. Throughout the process, we will look for examples of how your experience, strengths, and ways of working align with the role and the team you may join.

Our values

Our shared values – Leadership, Integrity, Care, Inclusion and Collaboration – guide how we work with each other, our clients and our communities.

How you approach your work

We’d love to hear about more than just what you’ve done. We’ll also want to get a feel for how you work – how you connect with others, take on challenges and adapt when things don’t go to plan.

Every role is different, so what we ask will vary. As you move through the process, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk through your experiences, the choices you’ve made and what you’ve learned along the way. There are no perfect answers – we want to get to know you and what matters to you in your work.

How to prepare

Before applying, take time to review the role description and consider how your experience aligns to the skills, capabilities and outcomes described in the job advertisement.

Think about the impact you've made in previous roles and the examples you may want to discuss during the recruitment process.

Tips from our team
Learn more in our 'Tips from our Talent Acquisition team' series: Tips before applying. 

What happens?

Once submitted, a member of our Talent Acquisition team will review your application. They will consider your experience, skills and suitability for the role, as well as how your background aligns with the requirements outlined in the job advertisement. 

Where relevant, we may also consider how your experience demonstrates the capabilities that help people succeed at Deloitte – such as collaborating with others, solving problems, adapting to change and creating value for clients.

When will I hear from Deloitte?

In most circumstances, a member of our Talent Acquisition team will be in contact within 7–14 business days of receiving your application. During high-volume periods, this may take longer.

You can check the status of your application at any time by visiting “My Profile” on our jobs board and selecting the “Jobs Applied” tab.

What happens?

Our interviews are designed to be a two-way conversation.

They're an opportunity for us to learn more about your experience and potential, while giving you the opportunity to learn more about Deloitte, the role and the people you may be working with.

Depending on the role, your recruitment journey may include:

• An initial conversation with a Talent Acquisition Specialist.
• One or more interviews with members of the hiring team.
• A recorded video interview for some roles or high-volume recruitment processes.
• A case study or practical assessment for selected positions.
• A final interview with a senior leader or Partner.

Your Talent Acquisition Specialist will explain which stages apply to your role and what to expect at each point in the process.

What we may explore during interviews

We’ll ask questions to understand your experience, how you approach work, and the impact you have had. The conversation will vary depending on the role, but we may explore examples of how you’ve:

• worked with others and built strong relationships;
• approached a challenge or solved a complex problem;
• adapted to change or uncertainty;
• used technology, data or AI to improve an outcome; or
• made a contribution you’re proud of.

You don’t need to have a perfect answer for every question. We're interested in hearing about your experiences, decisions, learnings and achievements.

When?

Interview timing will depend on your availability and the availability of the relevant interviewers. Your Talent Acquisition Specialist will keep you informed as you progress.

Where will interviews take place?

Interviews may be conducted virtually or in person, depending on the role and stage of the process.

Need an adjustment?
We want you to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. If you need an accommodation or adjustment for accessibility reasons, please let us know when you apply or speak with your Talent Acquisition Specialist before your interview.

What happens?

If you're successful, your Talent Acquisition Specialist will usually contact you to discuss a verbal offer.

Following formal approval, you'll receive a written offer through our secure online portal.

Your offer will include details of your employment terms and any applicable pre-employment requirements.

When?

We generally make offers once all assessments and interviews for the role are complete.

What happens?

As part of our recruitment process, successful candidates may be required to complete pre-employment checks.

Depending on the role, these may include:

• employment references;
• qualification verification;
• work rights checks;
• criminal history checks; and
• other relevant screening activities.

Deloitte or an authorised third-party provider may complete these checks.

When? 
These checks usually begin after the verbal offer process. 

Our interviews are designed to help us get to know you while helping you decide whether Deloitte is the right fit for your next career move.

We'll share information about the role, team, culture and day-to-day responsibilities, and you'll have opportunities to ask questions throughout the process.

The exact format and number of interviews may vary depending on the role.

First interview

This will generally be with your potential Coach, manager or someone you may work closely with. You will learn more about the role, the team and the kind of impact you could make. You may also be asked behavioural-based questions about your past experience and approach to work.

Second interview

For some roles, this may include a case study based on a real or theoretical business scenario. Sometimes we will share information in advance so you can prepare. In other cases, you may be asked to work through the case during the interview.

We appreciate that people work in different ways, so this stage is designed to help us understand how you think, communicate and approach problems.

Note: Some Deloitte business areas do not require a case study or the same number of interview stages. Your Talent Acquisition Specialist will provide more information as you progress.

Final interview

This is usually a conversation with a senior leader or Partner from the business area. It is a valuable opportunity to gain another perspective, share more about yourself and ask questions about the role, culture and team. 

We use Behavioural Event Interviewing, which focuses on specific examples from your experience to understand your working style, decision-making and approach to solving problems. 

To prepare, think about examples that show the role you played, the choices you made and the outcome you helped create. The STAR framework can help you structure your answers: 

• Situation –Set the context and explain what was happening. 

• Task – Describe the challenge, goal or responsibility you had. 

• Action – Explain what you did, why you chose that approach and how you worked with others. 

• Result – Share the outcome and what you learned. 

Tips from our talent team
Learn more in our 'Tips from our Talent team' series: Tips for preparing for the interview.

For some roles, you may be invited to complete a case study or practical assessment.

A case study lets you demonstrate how you approach a business problem, structure your thinking, analyse information, and communicate recommendations.

Importantly, we're interested in more than the final answer. We're also interested in understanding how you think, ask questions, make decisions and work through complexity.

This stage provides an opportunity to showcase your problem-solving approach, even if you've never encountered the exact scenario before.
