About the Role
The Mazars UK Advisory & Consulting Graduate Programme offers a dynamic and comprehensive learning experience for graduates keen on building a career in management consulting. Over the course of the programme, trainees will develop a holistic understanding of business operations and common problems faced by organisations.
The first year focuses on gaining early responsibility, meeting clients, conducting interviews and providing bespoke recommendations through comprehensive reports. In the second year, graduates take on a greater role in client engagements, lead workshops and analyses and begin to identify further opportunities with clients. They also support the development of less experienced team members. In the third year, trainees become trusted advisors to clients, actively develop opportunities with new clients, independently produce client deliverables, and take an active role in project management. The programme includes a variety of projects, such as helping clients define their long-term vision, enhancing business processes, improving long-term performance, and assisting with the integration of newly acquired firms.
Student & Graduate Recruitment Process
Stage 1: Online Application
You need to apply through Mazar's official job application portal. The application form asks a set of questions about who you are, your education and your experience. It will take no more than 30 minutes.
Stage 2: Online Assessment
Mazar's online assessment consists of multiple scenario-based questions where you need to rank answers based on your judgements and multiple numerical reasoning questions. The assessment will not be timed, but it will take around 70 minutes to complete. You can find more about how to prepare for Mazar's online assessment here.
Stage 3: Interview
This first-round interview will be with a member of the student recruitment team, and it will focus on your motivation to apply and the core competencies they are looking for.
Stage 4: Virtual Assessment Centre
If you are successful in your interview, you will be invited to the assessment centre. The assessment centre will include a case study, a group exercise, a numerical reasoning test and a final interview with a senior member of the team you will be joining.
Stage 5: Offer and Feedback
Following the assessment centre or final interview, candidates receive feedback and are informed about the outcome of their application. You will receive a job offer if you are successful.
