Accenture Recruitment 2020

Hey everyone,

I was wondering what kind of traits Accenture looks for. I know a lot of bright students who played the 12 games by pymetrics and got pretty decent results, yet Accenture's recruitment system sent a refusal email within 10 minutes to all of them. Any idea what kind of traits they are particularly looking for?

Thank you for reading my question(s).

Hey, I got offered a grad role back in February. I think the two main things that they're looking for are:
- People who are genuinely interested in new tech
- People who are well rounded

i.e. out of the following two examples, I think they'd rather go for person 2.....

Person 1:
- Economics graduate, first class
- Banking intern

Person 2:
- Geography graduate, 2:1
- Sports social secretary
- Year abroad
- Volunteer experience
- Tech work experience

Interesting, because I would go with the economics graduate all day of the week.

Hi, I received an email from Accenture the other day saying I had passed the online assessments and would get information about my assessment day in the next few days. When did you complete the online assessments because I had to wait quite awhile for a response from them? :smile:

I only completed the assessments yesterday but not sure how that went. How many days would you say you waited before receiving the email? Plus what programme did you apply for?
I completed the tests on the 11th October, so I waited for around 2 weeks. You should recieve a feedback report in the next few days but that doesnt really tell you much. I applied for the Consulting Graduate Programme in Manchester.

Congratulations on making it past the assessments. 11th of October that’s a while ago and how long did it take for you to be invited to do the online tests? Does the report say your strengths and weaknesses? I also applied for the consulting programme for Manchester haha! Sorry for all these questions

Thank you :smile: I think I waited about a week for an invite to the online test. Yeah it gives you your 3 top strengths and 1 less developed strength but it doesn't mention anything about how I did in the maths/data analytical area. No problem and good luck!
