How do I apply?

While the Elevate program aims to provide opportunities to specific equity-seeking groups, the hiring process is similar to our regular process when it comes to candidate application, screening, assessment, and final decisions. Here are a few general steps and tips to remember.

• Once the jobs are posted online (LinkedIn, Deloitte career site) or through our various other partners and channels, you are welcome to review the job descriptions that align to your interests, skills, and experience and apply.
• Reach out to your network for advice and suggestions on the best way to present yourself as a candidate that matches the role profile. Explore and research our website for more information on the role.
• After initial screening, if your resume is shortlisted, you will be contacted by one of our recruiters for an HR interview, followed by further interviews and/or case studies depending on the successful completion through the stages.
• Once all interviews and assessments are complete, the hiring manager will make a final decision, and you will be notified if you have been selected.
• If you are not selected, we will keep your resume in our Talent Pool for future consideration.
