About recruiting and hiring process at Accenture
Here’s what happens after you apply for a role:
Our Process
-
Confirming receipt
Once you’ve applied, you’ll get an email from us letting you know we have your application and that it’s moving into the review stage.
-
Reviewing your application
Our recruiters will review your application to see how it fits with the role you applied for. And, because they have insight into roles you may not have spotted in your search, they’ll also other look for other potential matches for you. You’ll need to submit a separate application if you’d like to apply for anything they recommend.
-
Reaching out
We’ll notify you to schedule an interview if you’re selected to move forward. And if we’re not able to move forward at this time, we will keep your information in case something comes up our recruiters think you might be interested in.
-
Meeting you
We hold interviews over the phone, via video or in person—and we’re always glad to accommodate any adjustments you might need. The number of interviews you’ll have depends on the role.
-
Assessing your skills
For some roles, we may ask you to complete an online activity so we can learn more about your technical skills, natural strengths or decision-making process.
-
Offering you a role
If you’ve been selected for a role, we’ll reach out with an offer and hopefully start working with you to plan your first day with us.
