How Johnston Carmichael recruits
Six stages, set out on their recruitment journey page: an online application with a CV, a video screen of five prerecorded questions, a timed online assessment, an assessment centre with an interview, a presentation and a group exercise, then your first day and a two day induction event with an overnight stay. One application per candidate per year: "Only one submission is necessary for us to consider your application."
How the process usually runs
Stages as Johnston Carmichael describes them. Timings vary by programme, so treat this as a guide rather than a commitment.
Worth knowing
- Their deadline is real but it is not a promise. The page says vacancies may close earlier if positions are filled, and we watched exactly that happen: an audit graduate role in Newcastle advertised 13 October came off their board on 13 September, a month early.
- Audit, business advisory and tax are assessed separately, in different cities and on different dates, so the service line you choose decides where and when you will be interviewed.
- One application per candidate per year, which makes the choice of service line and office the whole decision rather than something to hedge.
- They publish an unusually plain position on AI in applications: it may help with spelling, grammar or structure, it may not write your interview answers, and they say they may use tools to spot inauthentic responses.
- The school leaver route, JC Futures, was not open when we read their pages on 16 September 2026, while graduate, internship and placement routes were.
Questions people ask about Johnston Carmichael
Does Johnston Carmichael sponsor visas?
They do not say the word. Their graduate page asks for the right to work permanently in the UK without restriction, and the FAQ requires that right at application and throughout the programme.
What degree do you need for Johnston Carmichael?
A 2:1 or above, achieved or predicted. Any discipline: their FAQ says they welcome applications from all degree disciplines and answers a plain no to whether you need a finance or accounting background.
What does a Johnston Carmichael graduate earn?
They do not publish it. The only salary on their site is £23,750 for the twelve month industrial placement, so we print that and nothing else.
Can I apply to more than one Johnston Carmichael role?
No. They accept one application per candidate per year for early careers positions, and say one submission is enough for them to consider you.
Can I use AI in a Johnston Carmichael application?
For spelling, grammar and structure, yes. Not for writing your answers or for notes during an interview, and they say they may use tools to identify inauthentic responses.
Which qualification do you study there?
ICAS, ACCA, ICAEW or AAT on the accountancy side, ATT and CTA in tax, and graduate apprenticeship routes with Robert Gordon University or Glasgow Caledonian.
