Top Tip: “Have your qualification details to hand before you begin, such as GCSEs and A Levels.”

The first step is telling us a little about you and should only take around 15 minutes. It’s a set of questions that’ll ask you about who you are, your education and your experience.

Please complete your online application form in one session as it won’t save if you exit the page.

Minimum qualifications

Deloitte will be assessing your application based on the academic entry criteria outlined in the job description for the role you’ve applied to. Typically, for our graduate and work experience programmes, this requirement is that you’ll be on track for, or have achieved a 2.1. or above in your undergraduate degree. For our BrightStart programme, typically you’ll be on track for, or have achieved 104 UCAS points in your top 3 A levels.

As part of your application, we’ll still ask you to provide a breakdown of all your academic qualifications. This is to allow us to measure the success of our entry criteria. However, you will only be assessed on the academic grades as specified as a requirement in the job description. Please note, if you haven’t met our academic entry criteria due to an extenuating circumstance, please do tell us more about this on your application so we may consider this when we are assessing your information.

Keep your candidate ID safe

You’ll get a unique candidate ID number when you submit your
form. You’ll need to quote this every time you get in touch with us about your application. This can be found on your ‘My Profile’. 

You’ll go straight through to Step 2.

The second online assessment is the Job Simulation (Graduate, Brightstart, Industrial Placement, Summer Vacation Scheme and Spring into Deloitte). At this stage, the assessment focuses on behavioural skills. You will encounter questions that present work-based scenarios, requiring you to rank options in order of preference. Additionally, you will be asked to provide written responses and record video responses.

Our job simulation stage is as challenging as it is enjoyable. You’ll answer questions across formats that include writing, video, multiple choice and ranking. Each question relates to the type of work you might do at Deloitte, so it’s a great opportunity to get a real idea of the type of work you would do, and whether you would enjoy it.

Top Tip: “Our assessors are here to get the best out of you, they are not trying to trip you up or trick you, remember they want you to do well and you will shine.”

The final stage of our assessment is an opportunity for us to get to know you better, and for you to find out more about us. In your invite to this stage, you’ll find all the information you need about where and when your assessment will take place. Before you attend, we need you to complete some mandatory preparation which involves choosing a topic from a choice of four and researching this in more detail. 

The Final stage assessment is split into two exercises*:   

1. A discussion about your topic preparation with one of our assessors. This will be a two-way discussion which typically lasts around 30 minutes. The assessor will ask questions throughout to help keep the discussion flowing. 
2. A skills and motivation interview where we’ll ask some questions to learn more about your alignment with the capabilities we look for at Deloitte. This usually lasts around 50 minutes.  

Don’t worry – you’ll get all the details beforehand, including what is involved – and we’ll give you plenty of time to prepare. You can also have a look at the Candidate Zone to find out more and for hints and tips on how to prepare. 
*For some roles, including the Summer Vacation Scheme, you will complete only one exercise: the skills and motivation interview. Please visit our ‘Discover our selection process’ on the Candidate Zone for more information.   

Once you’ve completed your assessment, you’ll receive personalised feedback from us which you can use for your continued development. 

At the point we communicate your outcome, we’ll invite you back to the Candidate Zone where there will be follow up information and additional learning resources you can explore, regardless of your outcome.  

Getting a job offer 

If your final stage assessment is successful, we’ll offer you a job and your exciting journey with us really begins. 

If you’re not successful this time 

You may have been unsuccessful for all sorts of reasons. You’re always welcome to reapply – although we only accept one application per intake or academic year (which takes place September-August). 

Your feedback or offer 

Whether we’re letting you know that you’ve been successful or advising on how to improve for next time, we’ll be in touch as soon as we can. We always do our best to communicate with you throughout the process too.
