This year Marsh entered the Australian graduate market with its first company-wide graduate program. With a strong focus on diversity and inclusiveness, the intent was to design a program that developed future leaders who are both collaborative and community minded. Given the current COVID19 situation, the recruitment process pivoted its initial face to face hiring process, and turned our entire focus and efforts to utilising digital and online platforms to innovate, leverage existing platforms to engage graduates and assessors throughout the recruitment process. Working in partnership with Fusion, Marsh moved its in person assessment centres to being completely virtual with a strong emphasis on candidate and assessor experience. Facts and Features • • • • •
