Focusing on your strengths
Why strengths are important
Throughout our recruitment process, we assess your key strengths. This allows us to see what you do well, how you adapt and what you find energising. Individually, they play an even broader role as when we use our strengths, we are happier with positive emotions which enables us to perform better and be more engaged.
Your strengths
Strengths help us to provide a level playing field for all candidates, as they are individual to each person, and everyone has strengths. Our strengths-based online assessment will help to identify your strengths and understand if they align with ours. Including our values. We'll also see how you will apply these to the world of work.
Applying strengths in the process
Whether you come through our leading EY One recruitment process (with one unique experience personalised for each business area), or through our new streamlined approach, you’ll be able to show us your key strengths as well as be shown inspiring content to learn about EY, thrive and gain skills for the future.
EY Core strengths framework
Our framework plays a significant role in outlining the EY capabilities needed for you to learn, flourish, and develop as leaders. We'll support your future growth, career progression, and help you to meet the expectations of our clients, colleagues, and communities in today’s changing global marketplace.
We look for several core strengths throughout our recruitment process: Adaptability, Curiosity, Collaboration, Learning Agility, Resilience and Relationship Builder. We also look at Integrity, Personal Ownership and Motivation, alongside written communication, and numerical skills. Whilst these are EY’s core strengths, we’re seeing new strengths emerge in Technology and Tax, owing to the adapting world that we operate in that demands agility, problem-solving, proactivity and client centricity.
Below are examples of strengths and how you can prepare. And remember, there's no right or wrong answer to strengths. They are natural to each person, and we're simply looking for you to be yourself. Knowing what you can do well will help you to find the right role for you – always go with the answer that feels right for you.
