The Process, In Order

1

Online Application

Complete the application form — personal details, grades, and motivational questions. Application window: October–January for the following September start.

2

Online Assessments

Immersive online assessment — a scenario-based test combining numerical, verbal, and situational judgement in one integrated exercise

Video Interview

Strengths-based video interview — questions are about what you enjoy and what you're good at, not just STAR examples

4

Assessment Centre

Group case study

What the Top Candidates Do Differently

  • Apply in the first two weeks of the window opening — roles fill on a rolling basis
  • Prepare 5–7 STAR stories before starting the application — you'll need them at multiple stages
  • Know Deloitte's business in detail — not just the sector. Deloitte uses strengths-based interviewing alongside competency questions. This means you need to talk about what genuinely energises you — not just rehearsed STAR stories.
  • Practice the online tests with the actual provider formats — not generic aptitude apps
  • Record a video interview practice session and watch it back before the real thing
