Graduate Recruitment Process
At Macquarie, we believe our most valuable assets leave the building at the end of the day. This belief means we recruit and retain people who will thrive in the Macquarie culture and support our goals and values. To assist in finding you, we use a combination of interviews and psychometric assessment.
Our recruitment is not based solely on academic achievements. We are seeking to appoint candidates who satisfy a broad range of criteria in terms of their ability to make a positive and on-going contribution to the organisation.
Although the precise timeline, number of steps and evaluation process does vary somewhat across our organisation and divisions, the standard process for most positions is as follows:
Application: Select 'Search current vacancies', located in the right-hand navigation menu to read about career opportunities and access our online application form. You will need to attach your resume and any other supporting documents requested in the job description.
Interviews: The interview process is an opportunity for you to get to know our organisation, clarify the opportunities available to you and explore your technical knowledge. Interviews will take place with a representative from HR, our businesses or a combination of both. The number and type of interviews across the Groups does vary.
Assessment: Psychometric assessment is a normal part of the selection process at Macquarie, providing additional objective, reliable and relevant information about the likelihood of job success and satisfaction.
Psychometric assessment at Macquarie is available in a variety of languages, and you should use the documents below to decide which of these you would be most comfortable with, as this will give you the best opportunity to perform well.
Generally, this will be your native language and should not be affected by the location of the position you are applying for. You should only complete the assessment in English if that is your strongest language from the list available below.
Please inform the recruitment contact of your preferred language when booking your assessment session.
Tips
-
Ensure you are sitting the assessment in your native/preferred language
-
Bring reading glasses if required. All other materials will be provided
-
Get a good night’s sleep, wear comfortable clothing, and eat something prior to the assessment
-
Reschedule the assessment if you are unwell or facing circumstances which may adversely impact your performance as applicants have just one opportunity to complete the assessment
-
Ensure you bring a valid form of photo identification with you to the assessment (assessment can not be conducted without it)
-
Notify Macquarie Organisational Development if you have a disability or there are other circumstances that may prevent you from obtaining the best possible outcome on the assessment so we can consider making appropriate and reasonable adjustments. Macquarie encourages open discussion about an applicant’s disability at all stages of the recruitment and placement process and aims to give an applicant every opportunity to perform at their best
-
Employment Screening
This process includes reference and background checking.
The information generated from the interview process and psychometric assessment, in combination with all of the other information gathered during the selection process, will be used to obtain a comprehensive view of the match between you and the position you have applied for.
