fictional company, based on KPMG, which will relate to all the tasks throughout the rest of the assessment centre.
This is how the day is likely progress:
• Virtual office exercise: This is a laptop-based exercise which tests the candidate’s ability to prioritise. A series of
emails and voicemails will need to be dealt with within a time limit. Led through by a 3D virtual assistant, the exercise
will last around an hour and candidates will need to keep to deadlines and rework their priorities on the spot as new
information comes in about a project.
• Analysis exercise: This is a written exercise in which candidates have to produce a report from detailed information
they are given. It takes approximately an hour.
• Two simulated meetings: These are very similar to the kinds of meetings candidates would have if they were
working for KPMG – one with a ‘client’, the other with ‘colleagues’.
