  2. Online assessment

    Official employer

    Takes about five minutes and needs no preparation, according to Forvis Mazars. It starts with warm-up questions and measures the strengths that drive high performance at the firm, adapting to your decision-making style. The FAQ says it is not timed, so extra time is not offered, and that responses are scored with deterministic, rule-based algorithms. You receive a feedback report with your top two strengths and one development area. The vendor and item format are not named on the pages read.

The FAQ says only two booking invitations are sent; if no slot is booked after the second, the application is withdrawn. Length is not published on the pages read.

Retakes and validity

Forvis Mazars accepts one application per academic year (September to August). If you applied for a role with a given start date you cannot apply for another role with the same start date, but you can apply for later intakes. Transferring an application to a new role does not mean repeating assessments. No test re-sit or result validity rule is stated on the pages read.

What we could not verify

  • A careers site says the online assessment is a Neurosight assessment of 6 to 8 minutes; Forvis Mazars' own pages read do not name a vendor, so no vendor is listed
  • The FAQ also mentions booking a telephone interview, while the selection page describes a live video interview; which applies to which role is not stated
  • Video interview length, assessment centre exercise names and presentation task details are not published on the pages read
  • The process for summer internships, industrial placements and work experience is not described on the pages read
  • An Irish Forvis Mazars page describes a different test (General Intelligence Assessment); it covers Ireland, not the UK, and is not used
