Applications, Interviews & Assessments

• "Application form, online tests, 1st interview and assessment day. The whole process was very well planned out and didn't leave me pressured at any stage. Communication between each stage was also very prompt which allowed me to work preparation around other commitments." -- Audit, Entry level, Cardiff
• "Four rounds from online application to assessment day." -- Audit, Entry level, Bristol
• "I really enjoyed the interview and selection process as it felt like the managers and partners were really interested in me. The generic 'group-based exercise followed by interview, followed by written exercise, etc.' assessment structure was dealt with in a much more natural, relaxed way, which made me very keen to come and work for the firm." -- Audit, Entry level, Bristol
• "4 interviews, 2 with partners, 2 with managers." -- Audit, Entry level, Cardiff

• "Recruitment process is extremely efficient, they get back to you on the day of your interview, and they don't make you feel intimidated. Grant Thornton could not improve their recruitment process in anyway." -- Audit, Kettering
• "I did an internship and so bypassed the formal graduate recruitment process. To get the internship I had a telephone interview and an assessment morning. After my six week internship I had an interview with a senior manager and another with a partner before being offered a graduate job after completing my degree." -- Tax, Entry level, London
• "Online application, first interview with HR and second interview includes a scenario and a partner interview. Recruiting process was quick and the HR team were always very helpful." -- Tax, Entry level, Milton Keynes

Tips & Advice for Graduates

• "Be yourself, be friendly and interested whilst also being assertive." -- Audit, Entry level, Bristol
• "It is very important that an individual can integrate into the team and work well with its members. You must be able to juggle work and study, though you will be given plenty of help." -- Tax, Entry level, London
• "Be yourself. The company is looking for individuals. Must have a 2:1 degree to go in as a graduate and complete the ACA." -- Tax, Entry level, Milton Keynes

• "Find them at University open days and get to know as much as you can about the firm." -- Audit, Entry level, Bristol
• "The main thing I would tell potential candidates is just relax and be yourself. At the end of the day, you should work somewhere where you can truly be yourself and if the company sees that and likes you and believes you are right for them, the chances are the company is the right company for you too." -- Tax, Entry level, London

Internships & Placements

• "Placements are offered but not essential for starting at the firm." -- Audit, Entry level, Bristol
• "An internship at Grant Thornton is very much like doing the first six weeks of a graduate job. You are given loads of responsibility and plenty of work to do. There are some really fun social events arranged too. An internship gives you a bit of a head start if you take a job there afterwards and even if you don't, it's a great thing to have on your CV." -- Tax, Entry level, London

• "I would say my internship was key in my getting the job. I did real work on real clients and was shown a wide variety of the work different members of the department perform. The HR department organised weekly social events for the interns which were great!" -- Tax, Entry level, London
• "Internships are a very effective way to get a graduate position." -- Tax, Entry level, London
