About Deloitte's Online Assessment
Deloitte's graduate recruitment includes an online assessment stage often referred to as a job simulation or immersive assessment. Deloitte has not published which vendor supplies this assessment. The available evidence, candidate reports collected by graduatesfirst (April 2026), describes the job simulation as strengths-based, a style consistent with Cappfinity's approach, at medium confidence. There is no verified evidence that Deloitte uses Arctic Shores. Treat the strengths-based framing as reported by candidates rather than confirmed by Deloitte, and confirm the exact format with your recruiter once you have an assessment invitation.
What to Expect
- An interactive job simulation set in a workplace-style scenario
- Questions reported by candidates as focused on identifying personal strengths rather than right or wrong answers
- Situational tasks that ask how you would approach realistic work situations
- An online, unsupervised format typical of early-careers screening at large professional services firms
- No confirmed cognitive ability or numerical/verbal reasoning component reported alongside the simulation

Top Tips
Answer honestly, not strategically
Strengths-based formats are designed to surface genuine preferences rather than a single "correct" answer. Candidate reports describing Deloitte's job simulation this way suggest trying to guess an ideal profile is likely to backfire.
Get comfortable with the simulation format
An interactive, scenario-based job simulation feels different from a traditional multiple-choice test. Practising similar strengths-based formats beforehand reduces the chance of being thrown off by the format itself.
Do not assume a fixed duration
Neither Deloitte nor its assessment vendor has published exact timings for this stage. Block out a generous, uninterrupted window rather than assuming it will match another firm's published test length.
Confirm the process with your recruiter
Because Deloitte does not publish its vendor or exact assessment structure, check your invitation email and recruiter communications for the specifics of what you will be asked to complete.

The available evidence, candidate reports collected by graduatesfirst (April 2026), instead describes Deloitte's job simulation as strengths-based, a style consistent with Cappfinity, at medium confidence.
Which company supplies Deloitte's assessment?
Deloitte has not published its assessment vendor. Candidate reports describe the job simulation as strengths-based, in a style consistent with Cappfinity, but this has not been confirmed directly by Deloitte, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed.
Is there a pass mark for the job simulation?
Deloitte has not published a pass mark, cut-off score, or exact duration for this stage. Confirm what to expect with your recruiter once you receive an assessment invitation.
