Our recruitment process

Our recruitment process

Your next move starts here

Choosing where to build your career matters, so does choosing the people you want to build it with.

At PwC Luxembourg, our recruitment process helps us get to know you - the person behind the application: how you think, what motivates you, how you work with others and where you want to grow next.

We look at your experience, your skills and your potential. We also give you space to get to know us: our people, our culture and the kind of impact you could make here.

What your experience will look like

Our recruitment process is tailored to each role and level, so your experience may vary slightly depending on the position. Here’s an overview of the key stages you can generally expect when you apply.

Find a role that matches your interests, ambitions and skills, then submit your application through our careers site.

For some roles, you may receive an online assessment shortly after applying. We know there’s more to you than your CV, so here’s your chance to show us your skills, strengths and potential in a different way.

Take time to read the job description carefully. We want to understand why this opportunity speaks to you and how it connects with where you want to go next.

Our Talent Acquisition Team reviews your application against the role requirements, considering your skills, experience, and potential for the opportunity.

If you’re selected for the process, we’ll invite you to a first conversation with our Talent Acquisition Team.

This is a chance to talk about your experience, your motivation and your expectations. It is also your moment to ask questions about the role, the team and life at PwC Luxembourg.

For some roles, this step may be combined with other stages of the process.

You may meet recruiters, managers, partners or future colleagues during the process. Depending on the role, this stage may also include a case study, a technical discussion or another practical exercise.

These conversations help us understand your technical skills, your behaviour and your potential. They also help you understand the team, the work and the environment you could be joining.

We want interviews to feel like real conversations. Come prepared, be specific and show us how you think.

By this stage, we've had the opportunity to understand your skills, experiences, motivations and aspirations.

We bring together the insights from the different conversations and assessments to make our final decision. We'll reconnect with you to share the outcome, provide feedback, and feedback and answer any questions about the next steps.

If you're selected, your recruiter will call you to walk you through the offer, including the financial and non-financial details. We'll then start preparing for your arrival, so you can begin your next chapter with confidence.

Start learning from day one. You'll join teams where people learn from each other, share ideas and build expertise together. Through onboarding, introductions to your colleagues and early involvement in projects, you'll quickly start building your network across the firm and gaining hands-on experience.

Different roles need different conversations, which is why not all positions have the same recruitment journey.

If you apply for an experienced role, your process may include more in-depth conversations about your expertise, your leadership style, your business impact and your career goals.
