Online application, Games/Online testing, Video interview, AC - Only made it to Video interviews, there were no retakes, only one shot to record. Onlien testing was a fun interactive game and the online application was just cover letter, CV and academic transcript as normal.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
'Safe to Fail' environment at KPMG - tell us about a time you have applied this?
Several online stages consisting of critical thinking and numerical tests, followed by a video interview. Upon passing the video interview stage I was invited to KPMGs ‘Launch Pad’ event - essentially their own version of an assessment centre. This consisted of group activities, further critical thinking tests and a one on one interview with a partner. The day also contained many informal aspects, including networking and presentations based on technology and charity. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience which left me with an excellent impression of KPMG as an employer.
