Graduate at EY

1. Research: Find out which area you are interested in applying for. You can use our matrix to find out where the best fit is based on your interests and educational background.
2. Apply: When you apply, you must fill out our application form and upload your CV and a copy of your latest grade transcript. For some positions you may also include a motivational letter, but that is not always the case. The mandatory documents are always listed in the job ad. Once we receive your application, we will send you a confirmation email.
3. Gamified assessment: For most of our application processes, the next steps will be for you to complete our gamified assessment. If it is part of the process, you will receive a link to the assessment within a few days after submitting your application. When you receive the link to the assessment, you have one week to complete it.
4. Video interview: For some processes, the next step is to conduct our on-demand video questions. You will receive a link to the video questions within a few days after you have completed the gamified assessment. In other application processes, you only need to complete our video interview (and not the gamified assessment). In that case you will receive a link to the video interview within a few days after you have submitted your application.
5. Response: We strive to get back to everyone as soon as possible after the application deadline has passed. Please expect up to 2 weeks response time.

If you are considering applying for more than one role…

We highly recommend that you read carefully about all our different graduate opportunities and familiarize yourself with your main interest before applying, and only apply for one position. In our recruitment process, we will consider you for all open positions within EY.

For most of our graduate positions, our process typically consists of two rounds of interviews, where you will meet both employees with only a few years of experience and more senior profiles. Interviews are held at the office unless otherwise agreed.

In most processes, you can expect to solve a case as part of either the first interview or for the second. There will always be preparation time, either days in advance, or on the day of the interview when you arrive at the office. Our cases typically simulate the type of work you will be doing as a graduate, so you get a taste of what you can expect from the work.

After the interview, we strive to get back to everyone with a response as soon as possible, but the final response time depends on how many people we have called for an interview. In most cases, you will be notified within a week.

If you are invited to an interview, the most important thing you need to bring is a positive and open mind. You should prepare for questions regarding your motivation and areas of interest, teamwork, and social skills, and maybe we will ask you about your strengths and weaknesses.

For some interview processes, you must prepare a case or a short presentation about a self-selected topic. We will of course let you know in a timely manner. 

Remember that an interview is a mutual exchange, where both parties need to determine if it’s a good fit. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have that may provide you with clarification as to whether EY is the right place for you and meets your professional goals. Therefore, we encourage you to prepare questions that you seek answers to, which will help you understand if EY is the right fit for your career path.
