How to Apply to Deloitte (2026): Step-by-Step

Deloitte US hires in volume for consulting, audit and assurance, tax, advisory, and internal services, at both campus and experienced levels. The marketing pages are on deloitte.com, but every application goes through apply.deloitte.com, a separate candidate site where your username must be your email address. The mistake to avoid is attaching files recruiters cannot search: you can add up to four documents, one at a time, and Deloitte says image and zip files will not be searchable by its recruiting tools.

Where the Deloitte application lives

Official careers site: deloitte.com/us/en/careers. Applications run on an Avature portal (apply.deloitte.com).

• Job search & application (apply.deloitte.com) — The actual application site; the menu splits Entry Level, Experienced, and Global Firm Roles.
• Students & early careers — Internships, entry-level tracks, case competitions, and the Explore Your Fit quiz; applications still go through apply.deloitte.com.

Step by step: applying to Deloitte

1. Pick a role on apply.deloitte.com/careers/SearchJobs, filtering by hire type, business area, and whether it is Commercial or Government & Public Services.
2. Register with your email as the username. If the site says the address already exists, use the reset-password link rather than creating a second profile.
3. Work through the six-part flow: resume upload, personal details, role-specific questions, EEO questions, a review screen, then submit.
4. Attach up to four files one at a time (.docx, .pdf, .xls): resume, cover letter, transcripts. Skip images and zip archives.
5. If selected, a recruiter contacts you; Deloitte says initial interview scheduling usually happens within one to two weeks of applying.
6. Expect two to three rounds by phone, video, or in person — behavioral, technical, and case formats depending on the practice.
7. Offers typically arrive in writing within a week of the final interview, followed by access to an onboarding portal.

Tips from Deloitte applicants

• Keep one profile, keyed to one email, and update it there; that profile is reused across every Deloitte application you submit.
• Deloitte will discuss work-visa sponsorship during the process rather than screening it out up front, so answer the authorization questions accurately.
• Students: the student careers page lists the Discovery Internship, client and internal services internships, and case competitions as early entry points.

How long the Deloitte process takes

Deloitte says interview scheduling usually begins within one to two weeks for selected applicants and written offers follow within about a week of the last interview; candidates report first contact anywhere from a few days to a month. Interviews run two to three rounds, mixing video and in-person formats.

Before you hit submit

Two quick wins: check your resume against the posting with the resume keywords for your role, and attach a tailored letter — see the cover letter examples by role. Decide your answers to the standard screening questions once — see desired salary and work authorization — and keep a record in a tracker.
