Not only are assessment centres and interviews a great way for us to meet you and find out about why you are interested in working at BDO, it’s also a great opportunity for you to meet with BDO employees and Partners and find out why they love working for the firm.
The assessment centre may include, but not be limited to:
- a group activity
- interview or speed interviewing
- a networking opportunity.

Be cyber safe - cyber criminals often pose as recruiters to gain access to personal information (such as driver's licence, visa, passport, etc). We will never ask for such personal information prior to conducting a formal interview, and we will never contact individuals via generic email addresses such as Hotmail, Gmail or Outlook. Always check to ensure communications from BDO come from the @bdo.com.au domain, and if in doubt, email [email protected] or submit an enquiry via our website www.bdo.com.au. If you do receive a scam email, you should report it straight away as a scam / spam message via your email platform. If you have provided any personal information to the email address, report the matter to the Police and the Australian Cyber Security Centre at 1300 CYBER 1 (1300 292 371) as soon as possible.
