Student & Graduate Recruitment Process
Stage 1: Online Application
Applicants are required to submit an application through PwC's official job application portal. The application requires accurate academic and employment history details.
Stage 2: Online Assessments
This stage involves a series of online assessments to measure cognitive skills, natural behavioural preferences, and numerical reasoning abilities. You can practice PwC's online assessments here.
Stage 3: Video Interview
If candidates are successful at Stage 2, they proceed to a video interview, where they respond to a number of questions. This stage aims to provide insight into PwC's work environment.
Stage 4: Virtual Assessment Centre
This stage includes individual and group activities, along with a 30-minute live interview with a member of the Student Recruitment team. The assessment centre integrates everything learned about PwC so far, focusing on motivational and scenario-based questions during the interview.
Stage 5: Final Interview
If you are successful in your Assessment Centre, you will be invited to the final stage, which is an interview with a senior member of the service line you will be joining. You may not have a final interview for some service lines.
Stage 6: 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.
