Integrity Guidance

At Deloitte, integrity is at the heart of everything we do. It's how we've built trust with the businesses we work with, regulators, and the public; and it's fundamental to how we expect you to approach our recruitment process.

Our assessments are designed to give you a chance to showcase your individual skills and abilities. We want to see what you can do. That's why we expect the highest levels of integrity from every candidate. This means:

• Answering questions honestly and independently: Show us your genuine skills and knowledge.
• Relying on your own judgement and decision-making: We want to see how you think.

AI is rapidly changing how we work at Deloitte, and we're leading the way in helping other organisations adopt AI effectively. You can read more about this here.

For a fair and consistent assessment, we have specific guidelines regarding AI use. While you're welcome to use AI responsibly in your preparation, its use is prohibited in certain stages of our recruitment process (detailed below) to maintain the integrity of our evaluation.

Feel free to use AI when:

• Exploring career paths at Deloitte: You might choose to use AI to research different career paths within Professional Services to discover what excites you.
• Preparing for the selection process: AI can help you prepare for the selection process, manage your time, and meet deadlines. Alongside AI, our Candidate Zone offers valuable and reliable resources to help you succeed. Candidates who use it often perform better, so it’s worth checking out.
• Researching your final stage assessment topic (if you progress to this stage): Your final assessment for Graduate, Industrial Placement, BrightStart and Entry-Level Apprenticeship schemes will involve researching a topic. As part of your preparation, we ask that you use GenAI tools, such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Microsoft Copilot, alongside other research methods. AI can support your research and help you structure your work, but you should always check that any AI-generated content is accurate and can be supported by reliable sources.
• Preparing for interviews: You may use AI feedback tools to practice for interviews, although your responses must be based on your own experiences and authentically reflect you.
• Reflecting on your personal development: You might decide to use AI to help you process feedback and identify areas for development.

AI must not be used when:

• Completing online assessments, including the Immersive Online Assessment, Onestop and Job Simulation: These assessments must be completed independently and without AI assistance.
• During interviews, whether in person or virtual: Interviews must be completed without AI assistance. We want to understand your skills, experience and authentic responses.
• After your assessment: Do not share assessment details with AI tools. This breaches Deloitte’s Integrity Guidelines and intellectual property rights as well as being unfair to candidates.

If you are considering the use of AI tools to support with a reasonable adjustment (e.g., transcription), please contact our adjustments team before your assessment so we can explore the best support options  - UKRecruitmentAdjustments@deloitte.co.uk

We trust you to represent your skills and experience honestly, and we have measures in place to detect AI-generated or AI-assisted responses.

If we believe you have used AI in an assessment or interview in breach of this guidance, you will be removed from the selection process. We may also report this to your educational institution.

If inappropriate AI use is identified after you have been hired, it may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. We may also need to report this to relevant professional bodies.

Before starting your online assessment, you'll be asked to record a short integrity statement confirming your understanding and agreement to these guidelines on camera.

Some websites offer assessment insights for a fee, but these are not endorsed by Deloitte and may be misleading or inaccurate. We never charge for assessment advice, and the Candidate Zone provides the official, reliable guidance you need. Using answers in our assessments or interviews from any third parties or websites breaches our Integrity Guidelines.

If you become aware of any unethical behaviour or fraudulent websites, please report it confidentially via EthicsPoint - Deloitte Global. We're committed to ensuring a fair process for everyone.
