The Deloitte interview process
Deloitte often runs a behavioral/competency interview (frequently including a recorded video round) and, for consulting roles, a case interview. They assess motivation (why Deloitte, why consulting), teamwork, client focus, and structured problem-solving.
Common Deloitte interview questions
These are the kinds of questions candidates report most often — prepare a strong answer for each and practice it out loud.
- Why Deloitte, and why consulting?
- Tell me about a time you led a team to a successful outcome.
- Describe a time you solved a complex problem with a structured approach.
- Case: how would you help a client that’s losing market share?
- Tell me about a time you worked with a difficult client or stakeholder.
- Describe a time you managed competing priorities under a deadline.
What Deloitte looks for — and how to prepare
- Know your “why”: A specific reason for Deloitte and for consulting is expected up front.
- Prep competency stories: Leadership, problem-solving, teamwork, client focus — one strong STAR story each.
- Practice a case: For consulting roles, structure the problem and reason through it out loud.
- Prep for video: Recorded rounds reward concise, structured, confident delivery.
