How does the recruitment process continue?

1. Check out open positions at trainee.kpmg.fi/jobs and apply by submitting your cover letter, CV and a transcript of studies or a degree certificate. You can apply for several positions with one application.
2. After the application period has ended, all applicants will take part in KPMG Ready Game, our interactive game-based assessment.

Check out our Frequently Asked Questions about the recruitment process and KPMG Ready game below.

What should I do if I need adjustments to complete the assessment?

• If you're neurodivergent (dyslexic or dyspraxic, for example), have difficulties affecting your hands, or you'd just like to explore your options for additional support, just let us know at recruitment@kpmg.fi, we're happy to discuss any adjustments you feel you need to complete the assessment.

What happens if I miss the deadline for the KPMG Ready Game?

• The KPMG Ready is a mandatory part of our recruitment process. Unfortunately, if you do not complete the game within the given timeframe, you will not be able to proceed further in the recruitment process.

How does my KPMG Ready Game result impact my chances of getting invited to an interview?

• The assessment is one of the several evaluation criteria we use, along with your CV and application. We consider all three aspects together to form a comprehensive view of your suitability for the trainee role.

I didn’t get invited to an interview. Can I still receive feedback on my CV and/or cover letter?

• Unfortunately, due to the high volume of applications, we are unable to provide personalized feedback during our trainee recruitment process.

When will I find out the final selections?

• We will inform you of the final selections as soon as possible after the recruitment process is completed. The exact timing depends on the number of applications and the duration of the evaluation process. There might be service line specific variations in the recruitment process timelines. Thank you for your patience!
