We pride ourselves on providing a positive culture and stimulating work environment for our people. Our values form the foundation of our culture and influence our approach to our clients and to each other. We encourage a culture where all team members can contribute and reach their potential.

Recruitment Process

We recognise that this might be your first formal job application, so we promise to provide a supportive process and ensure you have a positive experience throughout the application process.

Apply online - Our programme usually opens in April/May for three weeks! You can apply online through the job opportunities on our profile. You will need a current CV, a cover letter, and a copy of your most recent academic transcript.

Video meet and greet – We review all applications and invite shortlisted applicants to submit a short video. We will ask you a few questions to learn more about you and your interest in TPG's graduate programme.

Interview - This takes place over a full day with other graduate applicants, including a formal interview, a group project, and a short written assessment. The best part is, we bring you to our Wellington office for the day (the travel is on us) so you get to meet some of the team and get a feel for TPG. We want you to feel prepared and confident through the process, so we will provide you with guidance at each stage.

Coffee catch-up – We invite all potential new employees to meet with a member of the team for an informal chat. It is a good opportunity to meet one of the team outside the formal interview process.

Job offer – In July/August we will get in touch to confirm the outcome of your interview. If you are offered a job, we will do a reference and background check and then you will receive a formal offer through our online HR system.

Welcome to the team – We look forward to you joining TPG! Our graduates usually start in mid-late January. There may be some flexibility with start dates which we will discuss with you through the offer process.

Remuneration & Career Growth
