Want to apply?

As you would expect, we have a thorough selection process to ensure we’re able to recruit top talent. Here you’ll find the four stages which we aim to complete within six weeks.

Stage 1:
Online application

Your first step will be to complete an online application form.

This includes some eligibility questions which will help us to check you meet the requirements of the programme.

Stage 2:
Online test

Firstly you complete our values based assessment, where you’ll be asked to choose between different approaches to situations at work. You will need to meet our requirements before progressing through to ability questions, which measure your understanding of information presented to you in different formats and assesses your ability to accurately evaluate and interpret data.

This will take between 20-30 minutes, so do make sure you clear plenty of time and that the environment you are in is free from distractions.

Stage 3:
Video interview

You should allow 40 minutes for the video interview. You will be asked a series of motivational and competency-based questions and asked to provide recorded video and written responses.

You will just have one chance to record your responses so do make sure you prepare by revisiting the details of the programme you have applied for and research our company values and the services and products we provide.

Stage 4:
Assesment centre

During the assessment centre you'll meet members of the Zurich team and current graduates. Our assessment centres include a combination of interactive exercises; an interview, case study and group exercise.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about Zurich and to meet various representatives from the business.
