Game-based
assessment
At PwC, our people are the core of our culture. This commitment begins at recruitment, where our process is designed to help us get to know you as a person: your skills, experience and motivation.
In order to enhance the graduate candidates experience, we have exchanged traditional online tests with a modern, user-friendly game-based assessment.
What to expect
Once your application is accepted by a recruiter, you will receive an email invitation to a quick set of games. These were designed based on traditional psychometric (IQ) tests, and measure several different skills and abilities in an interactive and stimulating way. Each game takes approximately three minutes to complete, so it should take you no more than 15 minutes.
What are the skills which we measure through this game-based assessment:
- Cognitive Abilities: Mental agility, Reasoning or numerical ability
- Working with information - your approach to new problems and how you adapt to new challenges.
And now the best part: Right after the assessment, you will receive a feedback report via email. Please note: the report will not include your detailed score, but it will give you some insights into your working style. After completing the assessment you might be invited to additional stages depending on local recruitment process. Potential next steps may include an English test, virtual video interview, group assessment center and/or meeting with the Hiring Manager, either face to face or virtual. All information will be provided to you in email correspondence or you will be contacted directly by a recruiter.
Charge or plug in your device of choice
Ensure the device you are taking the assessment on is fully charged or plugged in. Game-based assessments can be played in your internet broweser (on desktop) or the Hirevue App (on mobile).

Read the instructions carefully
Make sure you understand what the game is all about before you start playing. The rules are simple and intuitive, and it might be tempting to just start. But reading the instructions is worthwhile.
Give yourself a breather between games
Take a second to relax after each game, so you can begin the next game fully refreshed and focused.
Choose your space
Game-based assessments often require a high degree of concetration and focus. Finding a distraction-free area is one of the most important steps you can take to succeed on ga-based assessment. You should set aside around 15 mins of distraction-free time to stay on the safe side.
