Deloitte Job Simulation: Pass at Your First Attempt

Congratulations on passing the earlier stage. Deloitte lists two named assessments. Immersive Online Assessment or One Stop and Job Simulation. The Job Simulation recreates a day in the life at Deloitte. You will read messages and documents, write short responses, rank options and record pre-set video answers. For many programmes this stage replaces a separate first interview. Some service lines still run a short interview as well. A deeper Partner interview usually follows later online or in person.

At a glance

Format. Tile based with a set-up tile then scenario tiles that unlock in order.

Timing.Untimed overall but completed in one sitting. Typical duration forty five to sixty minutes. Individual video items have short prep and record timers.

Question types. Written email response (≈1500 characters typical), pre-recorded video answers (≈30–120 seconds typical) and situational judgement ranking. Some programmes include light numeric or verbal checks linked to the scenario.

Assessment lens. Deloitte values. Lead the way. Serve with integrity. Take care of each other. Foster inclusion. Collaborate for measurable impact.

What you will see on screen

The home screen shows tiles such as Video set up, Starting a new project and Creating success. Each scenario starts with resources to review. Expect up to seven mixed sources for context, for example

• Emails and instant messages
• Voicemail or short meeting clips
• Charts tables and short reports
• Calendars or brief project notes

You can usually re-open resources while answering, except during some video items which show only the most relevant exhibit.

Tech checklist

• Quiet place with a stable connection
• Desktop or laptop, camera and sound enabled
• Chrome Edge or Firefox recommended

Integrity note. Deloitte expects you to complete all responses independently and in your own words.

How to answer for a top score

Written responses

Structure like a client email. BLUF bottom line up front, then two to three concise points, then a clear next step. Mirror the exhibit language and reference data briefly.

Video responses

Use STAR. Situation, Task, Action, Result. Keep energy up, look at the camera, and close with a one sentence impact or recommendation.

Situational judgement ranking

Rank actions that show collaboration, inclusion, quality and integrity ahead of speed and convenience. De-prioritise actions that ignore stakeholders, skip controls or offload work without alignment.

Light numeric and verbal checks

Expect quick percentage change, ratios or simple trend commentary. Focus on direction and implications for the recommendation.

Example prompts mapped to Deloitte values

Collaborate for measurable impact

Draft an email to align your team and the client on priorities after a scope change. Include how you will track progress and manage dependencies.

Lead the way

Record a short video describing how you would move a project forward where information is incomplete and time is limited.

Serve with integrity

Rank the best to worst actions when a quick win conflicts with policy and quality standards.

Take care of each other

Outline how you would support an overloaded colleague while protecting delivery for the client.

Foster inclusion

Explain how you would ensure quieter voices are heard in a design session and what decision you would recommend.
