Your Recruitment Journey
Your Recruitment Journey
1. Apply online
The first thing you'll need to do is research our opportunities available to you and apply.
2. Assessments
Once you meet our screening requirements, you will receive a request to complete our online assessments, which are made up of a number of components depending on the line of service you have applied for - Verbal, Numerical and Inductive reasoning are core to the process, followed by a Digital Interview should you pass the assessment. These assessments are an important part of the recruitment process and we encourage you to prepare beforehand. It is important to ensure that you leave yourself enough time, are in the correct environment with no distractions, and have a stable internet connection.
3. HR interview
The HR interview takes place online and aims to gather more information about you. The first part of the conversation will focus on biographical questions related to your CV and background, and the rest of the time will be spent discussing your university experience and will use competency based questions. You will also have the chance to ask us any questions.
4. Business interview
The Business interview will also take place online, and is conducted by an experienced professional from one of our lines of service. The format differs slightly depending on the business unit, but will include a mix of competency based and technical questions, and you may be asked to complete a case study to help us understand how you analyze real life business challenges, formulate conclusions and present your recommendations.
5. Final interview
The final stage of the process is an interview with a Partner or Director in the line of service you have applied for. This will take approximately 30 minutes.
6. Offer
After our final round of deliberations, you will be informed about the result as soon as possible. Our onboarding team will get in touch with you regarding the offer.

Often, there are no right or wrong answers; instead, we’re evaluating your analytical and strategic skills, and the ability to make a strong case for your recommendations.
Many websites offer practice case studies to help you familiarize yourself with the type of problem solving that will be expected from you.
