A graduate scheme recruitment process typically begins with an online application and CV screening, followed by psychometric or aptitude tests assessing numerical, verbal and logical reasoning. Successful candidates are invited to video or telephone interviews, often competency-based. Many firms then run an assessment centre involving case studies, group exercises and presentations to evaluate teamwork, communication and problem-solving. Final-stage interviews with senior managers or partners assess cultural fit, motivation and long-term potential before offers are made.
