Application Process & Interviews at Deloitte AU

I believe there were 3 online assessments when I applied, however, I progressed through the Development Day Program which was a 2 day intensive program, through to the Vacation Program for 6-8 weeks and 2 final interviews for a position as a Graduate.

The interviewers were really good at making sure I was able to relax and show who I really was in the interview, instead of being a nervous wreck

Long process: online application, phone interview, group interview with one-on-one manager interview, partner interview.

I did a placement with Monash University so I did not go through the formal interview process and assessment centres. For my internship I interviewed with an HR representative and then I had conversations with a partner about continuing as a casual over the Summer. I then got the call for my offer in the following April (2017), ahead of starting in March 2018.

Online Test Assessment Centre - group work Director/ manager interview Partner interview

First round psychological assessment, then group interview, then Manager interview, then Partner interview

Offer after internship

Long, but appropriate

Online assessment, phone interview, assessment centre, partner interview.

all elements of the interview process and assessments were fun

Unlike other graduate interviews/assessment centres I had in looking to secure a grad job, I felt that the interview process made me feel comfortable and confident to do my best without making us complete childish activities.

Good online test Interesting/Engaging assessment center Great interview with partner/case study

I had an online application, an online test (gamified), a phone interview, the assessment centre, a case study (with presentation and interview follow up) and a partner interview.

Application online follow by computer assessment phone interview with HR to get to know you better and if the role is suitable A/C with individual and group work then 1 on 1 with a director from the department final interview with 2 directors

The interview process and assessments were expected. The difficulty was also expected given the competitive nature of consulting.

1. Online test 2. Assessment centre and director interview 3. Partner interview

They were challenging and a little competitive, but the most of the other candidates were easy to work with.

Complex, interesting, problem solving. A number of rounds (Assessment Centre, Partner interviews, case studies, phone interviews, online tests etc.)

Very streamlined, and there were enough stages in the recruitment process to show both strengths and weaknesses.

First CV and Cover letter application Phone Interview Assessment centre (test teamwork, how to tackle problems etc.) Case Study (how can you deal with a problem by yourself) Partner interview (Are you a right fit for the firm/ team)

Tell me something about yourself not on your resume?

Why I wanted to work with this company and in this field. I was asked to provide examples of when I had shown leadership, dealt with pressure, failed and how I coped with it - behavioural questions.

What are your strengths? How do you take feedback? Explain a time when you showed leadership. How do you work in teams?

Mostly about my interests A bit about my choice of Deloitte

The standard ones you would expect.

Where do you see yourself in 5 year? What is the hardest decision you've ever had to make and how did you make that decision?

Questions related around my motivation

General behavioural questions (no technical focus)

Typical questions, why this line of work, why this company etc.

What sectors are you most interested in? Would you consider doing a CA?

Interests, Education, What you are passionate about

Technology, Experience, Interests and Business related analysis.

Any past experience and a bit of case study work.

Culture related

Something along the lines of: - Tell me about a time where you had to change your approach to a problem halfway through, how did you handle this? - What attracted you to this company, to this role, to this area etc. Throughout the interview process I was constantly given the opportunity to ask questions about the culture, workplace and to figure out if the firm was a good fit for me. My company was keen to make sure that I wanted to work there, as well as figuring out if I was a good fit from their point of view.

They asked me questions mostly about myself and what I do. There were questions about what I understand about the company and Team I was applying to, but they are more focused on finding out about who you are and how you work.

Basic algorithms and software knowledge questions, and questions about my goals and what I wanted from work.

questions about the current tax system behavourial questions scenario questions work experience questions

Strongly related to what I studied in university

Background, passions/ areas of interest, prior experience of my internship

Do you research about recent engagements Deloitte has engaged.

Practise answering interview questions so that in the interview they come out really clearly and naturally. Make sure you can hold a conversation, most of the interview is just chatting, and this is your opportunity to show that you have good communication skills and allows the interviewer to see who you really are

Have relevant experience and really show why you want to be here

Have locked down why you want to work for Deloitte, why you applied to the business unit you are applying, what skills and experiences you bring to be a candidate of choice.

Have a lot of practice by thinking about your answers to the standard interview questions, that can be found online. Practice your answers in front of a mirror and finally in front of people. Get a few people (for example friends/ family) to interview you.

Extracurricular activities and social engagement examples are essential

Be yourself, show your passions and don't be afraid to ask questions and speak your mind.

Know what you are applying for. Don't go in there with no idea what you want from Deloitte and the role.

be a team player, willing to work with others and do your research on the company

Know EXACTLY what Deloitte does specific to the department you are applying for. Prepare the basic questions such as strengths and weaknesses but most importantly just be normal. Don't have set scripted answers, be fluid, have a NORMAL conversation with them. All 3 interviews the people were nice, down to earth and just wanted to have a chat about why you wanted to be at Deloitte.

Do you research as it will give you a better understanding of what They expect of you. First impressions matter but also show them who you are as that will help them to better understand you. A lot of reading is always helpful but also practising in the mirror your speaking is not a bad idea.

Always tailor your cover letter to the firm your applying for, at least 1 paragraph of your cover letter should be used to talk about their values and culture and how you can align to that.

be yourself try to apply your daily experience into interview questions if no relevant work experience

Use lots of examples

Have a genuine passion for the area you are applying to work in because partners seek passionate enthusiastic individuals that bring their own personality to work.

Bring your personality in.

Don't over prepare your answers or overstate your experience. If you don't know the answer to a question say that. Don't say what you think we want to hear, we will look for depth and substance within our conversations.

Research online, Whirlpool forums, Deloitte website, friends, family, university.

Apply at start of week because life gets in way later in week - gave strict deadlines to complete assessments etc.

Have an understanding and an opinion of what's currently happening in the world in regards to whatever industry you're going to be involved in.
