Ready to take the next step in your career?

At BDO, recruitment is more than a process. It is a conversation. It is your opportunity to learn more about who we are, and our chance to understand what drives you, what skills you bring, and how you might grow your career with us.

Whether you are applying for your first role or continuing your professional journey, we want you to feel confident and supported along the way. To help you prepare, we have put together three simple tips that reflect what we value most in our people. These tips are designed to help you show us your best self, from your skills and experiences to your personality and motivation.

Three ways to stand out when applying to BDO

Show your genuine interest

One of the most important things we look for is enthusiasm. We want to understand why you are excited about joining BDO and what it is about our firm, our work or your chosen team that interests you. Take the time to explore who we are, learn about the sector and reflect on what motivates you to be part of our journey. When your interest feels informed and authentic, it really shines through.

Focus on your strengths

Everyone brings something different to the table. Whether your strengths lie in problem solving, analytical thinking or communication, we want to hear about them. Come prepared with real-life examples that show how you have applied your skills in meaningful ways. This helps us understand not just what you are good at, but how you approach challenges and work with others to make an impact.

Be yourself

Most importantly, be yourself. We value authenticity and want to get to know the real you. Let your personality shine through in your conversations with us. Be confident in what you bring and open about what you want to learn. Our culture is built on people being themselves and contributing in their own way, and that starts from day one.

Your career journey starts here

Our recruitment process is just the beginning of your story with BDO. We are always looking for people who are curious, motivated and ready to grow. Take the time to prepare, show us what excites you, and approach each stage with confidence and authenticity.

We cannot wait to learn more about you and what you will bring to our team.
