Mercer's application process is clear and thorough. Our aim is to ensure that you get a real idea of what working at Mercer is like and that you get exposure to different members of our business. So not only are we ensuring that you are right for us, but you get the opportunity to decide if an open and encouraging workplace like Mercer is right for you. Please see below for a summary of the different stages of our process that you will complete:

An online application form - you will also need to attach your CV -which will be screened by a member of the graduate recruitment team.

Hi guys, something very important in the application process, as I see in your posts and other resource, is the commercial awareness. I ma preparing my application now and was curious to know, how are you preparing yourselves about this part? I study masters in business, and my undergrad is in software engineering, so it is not that I am so into the financial sector, yet. THanks
