Your journey
1. Apply
Good news, QA’s application process is different – no CV’s, covering letters or awkward assessment centres.
Our process gives you a glimpse into the world of a tech company and helps you understand what sort of situations and scenarios you might be faced with as a consultant.
We’re interested in what motivates you, what you are passionate about and how you handle certain situations - so there are no wrong answers. We all respond to situations differently and the process intends to help QA understand you. We’ll even send you a detailed feedback report afterwards that lists out your key strengths and identified areas for development.

Our consulting specialisms
