Your Assessment Centre Experience
The information below will help you to prepare for your assessment centre. As part of this event, you will complete the three exercises listed below where you will receive detailed and personalised written feedback from experienced graduate recruiters.
Interview
You will take part in a 1:1 interview, via video conference which will last 10 minutes. This will give you an insight into the types of questions that an employer will ask. Prior to the interview exercise, please think of a job role and organisation you would like to work for and your assessor will base your interview on this choice.
Group Presentation
As a group, you will choose a topic from the brief available at the start of the exercise. You will have 25 minutes to prepare your presentation as a group. You will then have 10 minutes to deliver your presentation to the assessor, where everyone must take part. This will be followed by questions for up to 5 minutes.
All materials for your presentation exercise will be provided to you on the day of the digital assessment centre. No pre-work is required for this exercise.
Group Exercise
The group exercise is a collaborative task where you will work together as a group on a time-sensitive task. You will be presented with a scenario that requires you to make decisions and contribute your suggestions. As a group, you will review, discuss, and agree on what actions to take. You will then share these actions with the assessor, along with a brief explanation of your rationale.
