Please describe the interview process and assessments.
Not dissimilar to other hiring processes.
Graduate, Melbourne
Psychometric Testing, an assessment centre and an in-person interview.
Graduate, Melbourne
The interview process is challenging - beside being a typical assessment centre and face-to-face partner interview, the questions/case study at assessment centre are accounting-technical which can be difficult for mon-accounting major students.
Graduate, Melbourne
1x call with HR, 1x call with a partner
Graduate, Melbourne
We started off with an assessment centre which was online, where we got to work with other candidates. We then had an informal interview on that same day where they asked a few generic questions. If we passed that, we then met with a partner and a manager of the firm once we got to the interview process which was very insightful.
Graduate, Melbourne
The interview process consisted of six stages, with assessments becoming progressively more challenging. However, the process is intentionally designed to identify individuals who align with the firm's values and expectations. Going through this process, I realised how much I wanted to be a part of the firm. Reaching the final stage was exceptionally rewarding.
Graduate, Melbourne
Grads will go through a phone interview, then a testing day where you do a case study (in person) with small groups and then have an in-person interview. You also get an office tour whilst you'er there.
Graduate, Melbourne
Pretty standard with all other firms. Updated on status quickly rather than leaving you hanging like other firms
Graduate, Melbourne

What questions were you asked in your interviews?
Case study: recommendation to the internal control of an actual business Partner interview: where do you see our firm in competing with other firms in the mid-market.
Graduate, Melbourne
What is the biggest challenge you think we would face as an organisation
Graduate, Melbourne
Just some general questions to start off, nothing that seemed like a crazy curveball, they were very calm and collected and it almost seemed like a formal chat.
Graduate, Melbourne
1. What do you know about Pitcher Partners? 2. If Pitcher Partners had an unlimited budget, how would you spend it? 3. Why do you want to work for Pitcher Partners?
Graduate, Melbourne
Can't remember - but STAR method and overall positive experience.
Graduate, Melbourne
My interview was in May 2021 so I dont really remember
Graduate, Melbourne
Tell us about yourself. What do you think about AI replacing accountants?
Graduate, Melbourne
Cannot recall specifics - apologies. Was a mix of technical knowledge basics & personal (background queries).
Other (Please specify) - Senior Analyst, Melbourne
Questions were largely personalised and more a less trying to gauge what type of person you are rather than what your resume says.

Do you have any specific tips and advice for candidates applying to your company? How would you recommend they best prepare?
Stand out. Be personable. EQ is more important than IQ
Graduate, Melbourne
Make the process personal, for example, write an engaging and personal cover letter (as oppose to standardising this process), make your responses to interview questions personal by relating to/referencing personal experiences
Graduate, Melbourne
Be yourself.
Graduate, Melbourne
I recommend that you prepare by thoroughly learning about the firm, understanding what sets it apart, its founding story, and the reasons behind its establishment. Through this process, you will discover a genuine motivation for wanting to work here, enabling you to respond convincingly to any questions that may be posed to you during the recruitment process.
Graduate, Melbourne
Learn about the company beforehand and prepare, but don't stress - everyone is really friendly, so just be confident and yourself.
Graduate, Melbourne
Understand how middle market differs and why this interests you
Graduate, Melbourne
Focus more on being a strong personality rather than technical knowledge, the firm is more keen to see if you would fit in the culture
Graduate, Melbourne
Utilise the networking opportunities when possible. Be authentic, confident, energised and curious during interview.
Graduate, Melbourne
An inquisitive mind and eagerness to learn are some of the most important qualities to bring to a new job. Pitcher Partners does not expect you to know everything coming into the interview. In saying that, do your research and attempt to understand the areas within the business that you are interested in. Come with targeted questions prepared based on your background reading.
