Recruitment Process

The Hiring Process

  1. Online Application
    Prepare to apply by finding where your skills fit and familiarising yourself with how we hire. We'll be assessing applications immediately and progressing candidates who meet the program eligibility criteria to the online assessment and digital interview. All applications will be reviewed.
     
  2. Digital Interview & Online Assessment
    This is the stage where we get to know you better and you to learn a little more about yourself!  Your digital interview is your chance to bring your application to life. You'll be asked questions that will help us get to know you better and understand why you're interested in creating a career with us.

    For your online gamified assessment, you'll play a series of games designed to help us learn more about your strengths and to see if you're a good fit for the area you've applied to. This should take around 45 minutes to complete.

    Part Two: Interview
    The last step on your application journey is an individual interview with a Partner from the business area you’re interested in. This is our chance to learn more about you, and your chance to learn more about your future team!

What Graduates Say About Them
  • Hands down the people - PwC has such a culture that is unique compared to all other companies I interned at within the industry. I have been so lucky to have the most supportive team and make some lifelong friends so early in my career. I also love how much they support building the culture with social events - whether they be games nights, or simply drinks after work.
  • Work flexibility and free coffees. As well as the never-ending possibilities to expand my career.
  • Really steep learning curve, sophisticated training programs, and making friends when we joined the firm as a batch.
  • I really enjoy the culture of PwC. I feel that PwC is a supportive environment and I have been able to engage with lots of extra-curriculars during my time at PwC.
  • I am empowered to create a positive impact on my clients through the firm's collaborative working culture.
  • Gets really busy when the busy season comes.
  • Not all engagements are managed well
  • Probably the worst thing would be the cyclical nature of auditing (not really a company thing). Sometimes it can be a bit boring during the quieter periods.
  • During the busy season, working long hours however the team is always very supportive.
  • Personally, I've found that there are too many meetings both firm and team-based where that time could have been better spent

Graduate Success Stories


  • Graduate stories
I get to learn new things every day, which means my job is never boring. It’s also a very hands-on role, where I get to work directly with clients, grow my skills and see the impact of what I do.
