Two ways in
Two routes to the same seat. Take the general track if you want to be judged on how you think, and the special skills track if you would rather be judged on what you have made.
General recruitment
Open to all applicants · four steps
Form
Your year, what you want to work on, and why this chapter.
Group discussion
A moderated case discussion in groups of six. We watch how you argue and whether you change your mind, not whether you win.
Interview
A conversation with a director and a senior analyst about your form, how you reason, and one short technical question.
Offer
Your vertical, and the first thing you will work on.
Special skills track
Video, design, modelling and similar · no group discussion
Form and proof of skills
The same form, plus work that shows the skill you are applying with.
Interview
A walkthrough of what you have made. Bring the work, not a deck about the work.
Offer
You start on live chapter work straight away.
