Deloitte is looking for graduates with a “well rounded skill set with a strong academic background” to fill more 1,100 graduates within the next 12 months, according to Sarah Shillingford, graduate recruitment partner.

Today (1 July) Deloitte opens its application process for 2011 and is still recruiting for the autumn 2010 intake following recent increases in graduate positions. Deloitte adds that it assesses candidates on a first come first served basis and will offer roles to the first candidates to apply that pass the assessments and hit the Deloitte benchmarks.  

Shillingford says: “We are open to applications from students who have studied any degree discipline. The majority of our vacancies offer candidates the opportunity to study for professional qualifications alongside soft skills training, so a strong desire for development is essential. Overall we look for a well rounded skill set with a strong academic background.”
