- You will have two attempts to answer each question.
- You will receive feedback within 15 working days.
Step 3 - Virtual assessment centre

You’ll receive an email with all the necessary information, which can be followed up with a call to answer any questions you may have. We can cover everything from setting up your IT to interview prep.
- This is spread over two days, which previous candidates have appreciated. You can expect a warm welcome because we know you’ll perform at your best when you feel most comfortable.
- In most cases, you’ll have a final decision within 48 hours. This will include a two-way feedback call with your recruiter. We’ll share detailed feedback on your performance over the two days and will seek to get your honest feedback on your experience with us.
- For all roles:

- Day 2 includes an individual interview with two senior members of the team you have applied to.
I joined the firm as an apprentice back in 2000 to begin my accountancy career. A lot has changed during those last 20+ years within the world, with the firm and in my personal life! Why would I recommend choosing Evelyn Partners to start your career? I can honestly say that the firm as it is today is truly an exciting place to work. I love our approach to inclusivity and the supportive environment to be your true self. You spend a large proportion of your adult life working and so it’s important to me that I work with awesome people, inspiring entrepreneurial clients and am offered innovative development opportunities to help me to continue to grow as my career progresses.
