The Specialisterne Recruitment Process

To be considered for this position, rather than go through a traditional interview process, candidates will be screened by Specialisterne, and those selected will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a mock project.

 Instead, here’s how it works:

1. Apply to the job. This will involve completing an online questionnaire as well as submitting their resume to Specialisterne USA. 
2. Join the Specialisterne talent pool (if you haven’t already): Complete a talent pool questionnaire and an optional “Workplace Skills Inventory” about your situation, job skills and how you work best.
3. Create a job-specific Candidate Profile: If you meet the qualifications of the role, Specialisterne’s talent acquisition team will give you access to your Candidate Profile. You will use it to answer job specific questions and/or complete a work sample exercise to showcase your skills for this role. This is what employers will use instead of using your resume or interviewing you.
4. Meet with a Specialisterne facilitator. After you have completed your Candidate Profile, a Specialisterne facilitator will book a thirty-minute meeting with you to discuss your application.

• The employer will review compatible Candidate Profiles to select the best candidate for their job. 
• Then, selected candidates will have an opportunity to meet with the hiring manager to discuss the mock project that will be used to demonstrate skills required for the role.  
• If selected for consideration for Deloitte’s 12-week apprenticeship program, you will need to go through Deloitte’s application process.
