We want it to be easy for you to apply to our graduate schemes. So, here's a step-by-step guide explaining the process so that you can be fully prepared.

If you’re considering an application, be authentically yourself. It might sound cliché, but authenticity truly stands out. Ensure you've done thorough research and are applying from a place of genuine passion and purpose. Remember, our applications close on a rolling basis, so I encourage you not to delay in submitting your application!

Application and eligibility

Once you've found a graduate scheme that suits you, simply fill in a short form and answer some basic questions so we know you're eligible to apply. Don't forget to let us know if you need any reasonable adjustments to be made during the process — we'll support you in the best way possible.

Gamification

This part of the application will take you about 30 minutes to complete and can easily be done on your laptop or smartphone. Your task will be to play 12 games that measure the attributes that make you in different ways. Once you've played them, you'll receive a personalised report that will support your future growth.

At Diageo, we offer exceptional opportunities where you can truly discover and pursue your passion.

Video assessment

We'll ask you to complete a video assessment via HireVue. It will take about 30 minutes. The interview will give us a chance to get to know you better and learn more about your passions, interests, and purpose through a series of questions. Don't worry about having to come up with answers on the spot. You'll have the chance to practise your responses beforehand.

Be your authentic self at our assessment centres. Showcase your passion and motivations for wanting to work at Diageo and the graduate scheme you've applied for. Engagement comes in various forms, so if you're introverted like me, let your engagement shine through in ways that feel natural to you. Remember, our assessors are not here to trick you; they want to see your true self. Think outside the box, explain your reasoning, and share the 'why' behind your choices—we love understanding what drives you.”

Assessment centre

Lastly, we’ll invite you to a virtual or in person assessment centre. This step of the application process is a challenge, but a fun one! You’ll learn about our business, culture and graduate schemes and we’ll get to learn more about you. There’ll be several exercises where you’ll get the opportunity to show all the qualities that make you unique – just bring your creativity, ideas and passion and the rest will follow! You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions you may have to us.

Always in the loop

We really appreciate the time you're taking to consider joining us. And whether you're successful or not, we'll give you feedback to support your development.
