About recruiting and hiring process at Accenture
Here’s what happens after you apply for a role:
Our Process
-
Confirming receipt
Once you’ve applied, you’ll get an email from us letting you know we have your application and that it’s moving into the review stage.
-
Reviewing your application
Our recruiters will review your application to see how it fits with the role you applied for. And, because they have insight into roles you may not have spotted in your search, they’ll also look for other potential matches for you. You’ll need to submit a separate application if you’d like to apply for anything they recommend.
-
Reaching out
We’ll notify you to schedule an interview if you’re selected to move forward. And if we’re not able to move forward at this time, we will keep your information in case something comes up that our recruiters think you might be interested in.
-
Meeting you
We hold interviews over the phone, via video or in person—and we’re always glad to accommodate any adjustments you might need. The number of interviews you’ll have depends on the role.
-
Assessing your skills
For some roles, we may ask you to complete an online activity so we can learn more about your technical skills, natural strengths or decision-making process.
-
Offering you a role
If you’ve been selected for a role, we’ll reach out with an offer and hopefully start working with you to plan your first day with us.

Accenture's Summer Analyst Program is a 10- to 12-week program designed for third-year students enrolled in a four-year undergraduate program at a college or university in the US or Canada. Our Apprenticeship program is designed for candidates with non-traditional academic backgrounds, often in partnership with select non-profit partners. Learn more about our Summer Analyst Program here and Apprenticeships here.
To verify a real job offer, you should first log in directly to the Accenture Careers portal to confirm the offer is listed under your application status. Official communications will only come from an @accenture.com email address, and the process will always involve multiple rounds of formal interviews rather than just text-based or instant-message chats. Most importantly, Accenture will never ask for payment for equipment, training, or "processing fees" at any stage of the recruitment process. Learn more.
