Deloitte appoints three senior managers to early careers team

Deloitte has appointed Victoria Alcock, Justin Fay and Becky McVittie as senior managers to its early careers recruitment team in the UK.

The team recruits over 3,000 candidates each year to its BrightStart apprenticeship, graduate scheme and work experience programmes.

Alcock, Deloitte’s new head of talent engagement has joined the firm from EY’s student recruitment team. She has over 12 years’ experience in Early Careers recruitment, and previously held positions at Teach First.

In her new role, she will focus on increasing Deloitte’s engagement with diverse talent pools and early identification of talent.

Meanwhile, Fay, early careers recruitment senior manager, has joined the team from PwC and has ten years’ expertise in student recruitment previously working for Arup and DLA Piper.

Additionally, McVittie has been promoted to early career recruitment senior manager after initially joining the firm in 2022.

She brings ten years’ experience from recruiting firms such as AmberJack Global and in-house roles at npower.

The news is part of Deloitte’s increased investment for early careers and young people, including opening up even more work experience places this year by doubling the capacity of its Spring into Deloitte programme.

Deloitte has also ramped up its in-person events to nearly 200 this academic year and it was the headline sponsor for National Student Pride (23 – 25 February 2024). Deloitte’s careers team will be attending 75 careers events including 25 university campuses this spring.

The team has also recently launched two new websites, Discover Your Path and the Candidate Preparation Hub, to help students find out more about a career at Deloitte and top tips for the assessment process.

Lauren McCafferty, head of early careers recruitment at Deloitte, said: “It is brilliant to welcome three new senior managers to the team. They have already launched some great initiatives, most recently leading our work as headline sponsor for National Student Pride. Their wealth of experience, knowledge and creativity will be invaluable in helping us attract and retain talented people to Deloitte’s early careers programmes.”
