Application process

To ensure that everybody who is interested in joining our team has equal opportunity and ability to start that journey, we have made sure our hiring process is flexible and accessible. From the application to interviews, our team will adapt to your needs and what works best to help you show us your best.

A P&G application is the first step in the hiring process for internships, graduates looking for a full-time position, and experienced hires. This is your opportunity to tell us all about yourself. Be sure to make a note of any deadlines, which vary depending on the role, location, and other factors. Most positions and programs have rolling deadlines, but it’s best to apply as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

After you submit your application, you may be directed to take one or more of our online assessments. Our assessments are unique and help us determine if P&G is a good fit for you— and vice versa. The P&G online assessment measures skills and abilities that generally do not emerge from interviews. We aim to let you know the results of your assessment, whether you have progressed to the next step of the hiring process, and what the next steps are within 30 days. If you don’t pass an assessment the first time around, you can try again after 12 months.

Once you have passed the assessments you will be invited to your first interview. Please note that to be successful in any application with P&G, you will need to pass three interviews in total. The purpose of a P&G interview is to get to know you better and give you a chance to ask us questions. You can expect to have one-on-one or panel interviews, which may be conducted virtually (online or via a phone call) or in person depending on your country. Most interviews last around 45-60 minutes, but there are no strict time limits. We use a combination of behavioral-based and situational interviews to get to know the real you. With the intent of helping us to understand how you relate to, compare with, and connect with P&G PEAK Performance Factors: the competencies that define how our people succeed in today’s business environment.

The final step of application process is the job offer, where we will hopefully be able to welcome you to the team! Just as with every step, P&G is thorough in its decision-making process. In some cases, you will receive a P&G job offer letter within a week, and in others it may take much longer. Many factors affect how long it takes for us to contact you, including the role you have applied for, the urgency to fill the position, volume of applicants, the location of the role, and others. So, if you haven’t heard from us, rest assured we will be in touch, and that the length of time between your interview and us reaching out to you has no indication on whether we are going to offer you a position.
