Application Process & Interviews at Deloitte New Zealand

My interview process was unique in that it went relatively fast, most likely because it was last minute. Everyone was very nice, and I appreciated the honesty towards all of my questions.

It was relatively straight forward and has a quick turnaround after the in-person interview

Very rigorous

There was an interview that I have to complete for the first stage. After successfully going through it, I had to go through two more interviews.

For me very good, although I think I had an unusual hiring process through a case competition so cannot comment what it was like for others

Online application, then automated recorded interview, then in person interview.

Easy to follow and efficient

The assessments were challenging but manageable, interesting and made sense in alignment with the department I was applying for. My interview process was casual and felt like a conversation which was nice.

Qualitative testing then interviews

Standard

Friendly, fast and welcoming

Cv and cover letter, video interview, in person interview

The interview process is very inviting and straight forward. The interviewers intentions are to get to know your values and how well you can work as a potential team member.

Fast communication. Cv screening, 2 assessments, 1 interview day (via zoom)

The interview process was excellent, great communication throughout, very easy process to follow and many resources were provided to help in preparation for each stage; online interview and in-person interview.

I first applied to be an intern at my company and went through a 3 tiered process. 1. Written application and cv 2. Video interview via app in which you are prompted with questions and must answer within a 1 minute period. 3. Interview with partners I was offered a graduate role following my internship, therefore, did not have to re apply.

Application > 7 days later interview booked > interview > 2 days later I was offered

I did not apply in the march graduate run- I applied around september? Firstly I submitted my cv, transcript and cover letter online on the deloitte website. A couple days later I received an email to complete a video interview, where I was asked 4 or 5 questions. About 1 and a half weeks after that I was invited to come into the wellington office for an interview with the partner and manager. I had to complete a case study prior to the in- person interview and bring my answers with me. Then about two weeks after that I got a call saying I got the job!

All very welcoming and easy to complete. I felt valued and excited during the interview process.

After the initial application, there were a few assessments (similar to psychometric tests). The assessment also looked over your analytical and problem-solving skills. It also tested your email/presentation skills. I had two interviews and they were very informal - I got to chat to a partner and some directors and they were very friendly. Felt like a very supportive and safe environment where they just wanted to get to know you better.

It was a while ago now, but it was primarily a chat about my life over the past 5 years or so, including my hobbies, studies, and what direction I would like my career to head.

More or less just about myself outside of university and work

Been a while so not too sure.

Tell me about yourself, many behavioral questions (what would you do if you have a conflict with a co-worker?), Activities that I partake when I was in university.

Mostly just things about my personality, what I enjoy doing and what I think I'd like about working here.

Can’t remember, was hired as an intern.

How I enjoyed uni, career goals, life goals, interests outside of work and uni. If I would have support from friends and family. Discussed some uni grades. Areas that I felt I excelled in and areas that I wanted to improve.

About my commitment to the area of work. They were not worried about me choosing another firm, rather worried about choosing another career path.

What activities I was involved in outside of work, my strengths, what type of work I was interested in, what football team I supported.

Questions related to academic performance, what attracted me to the firm and role and how I deal with challenges.

Why do you want to work here? What do you think we do? What are you interested in? What about this service line interests you? What about it brought you to apply?

Situations where I've needed to problem solve and advice I've given.

I was asked specific questions about my cv and past experience. I was asked to describe how I saw audit / an auditor's role.

What my career aspirations were? My background and the differences that I could bring from my experience to the workplace? Any other relevant work experience?

Behavioral based questions related to recruitment, general chat about myself and the team

Video interview: - what do you know about the job you're applying for? - What was the hardest thing you've ever had to do? - What do you enjoy doing in the weekend? In-person interview: - what tasks did you do in your internship? - Tell us about yourself - can you tell us a time where you disagreed with something? - Leadership stuff - questions about where you disagreed with someone higher up than you.

Not just about my grades or qualification/experiences, but also my hobbies and interests.

Typical 'star' type questions were asked, like "tell us about a time you had to..." Etc. It was more a chance for me to ask them questions and get to know them better as well.

Normal questions. But one was how would you describe the universe to a 7 year old.

What netflix series do you watch?

Understand what points they would like to be touched on during the interview, and take a proactive approach to the flow of the conversation rather than reactive.

Be yourself open and honest and ask question about what you want to know

Read up on our companies values on our website and how they can relate to you/ how you are able to implement them in your daily life/ work.

Be quick, it hires on a rolling first in first serve basis. So if they really want the job apply as soon as the recruitment opens and be prepared.

Know your strengths and how you can leverage it in the workplace. Tell them why you might be the good choice - when showcasing strengths, give examples as well to help portray this

Have examples of times you worked with a difficult client, worked as a team, and overcame a challenge.

Be yourself (cheesy), and read up on the company's values

Be yourself - don't pretend to be someone you are not you will be much more impressionable and confident

Just be yourself

Come in knowledgeable about the department you want, why and how your presence would be impactful. I think it was good to have a company that interested me that we could discuss, how they're business strategies worked. Try find common ground, have confidence in yourself and ensure your being respectful and honest.

Think about why you want to work in a specific area and have some reasons why.

Get stuck into extra-curricular activities, good grades are only one indicator of a good hire. Be confident in yourself and your unique strengths, all types of people are hired here.

Understand the firm values and culture, be curious and genuine.

Really understand the service line you're applying for and make sure there is a genuine passion inside to be apart of this team. Ensure that the service line has an element in which you want to develop in also.

Be unique in your application. You get hired because you stand out - not because of grades etc. (Those are minimum requirements), rather, because you have done something interesting

Relax for the interview ! Make sure you have questions for the interviewer also, and ask questions that make them think. E.G. I asked about csr and what initiatives they have in place / their proudest moments at the company, asking about opportunities for career progression. The interview felt more like a conversation.

Be genuine and authentic. Do not oversell yourself.

Prepare by practicing your answers to behavioural questions, have a few questions ready to ask interviewer, dress professionally and be yourself

Always do a cover letter- even if the organisation says you don't have to do one, still do one. If asked to complete a video interview- make sure to dress professionally anyway and make sure to complete it in the relevant time-frame show up on time and give a firm handshake for the case study- have a go, then go away for awhile then come back and re-read your answers. Make sure to present them nicely in a word doc or similar it is ok to be nervous but try and smile and make eye contact- your interviewers genuinely want to get to know you!

Be yourself, sell who you are, not who you think they want you to be.
