Recruitment

Recruitment Process

  • NCM typically recruits twice each year (first cycle is in the fall and second is in either winter or spring).

  • We host information sessions before each cycle to inform candidates about what to expect throughout the process.

  • The first step is an online application, where you submit your resume and answer a few essays (which includes a written stock pitch on a company of your choice).

  • Post the application, there are 2 invite-only interviews, with the structure as follows:

    • Round 1: five-minute stock pitch, twenty-minute Q&A, business acumen

    • Round 2: behavioral interview with a focus on your background and interests

  • NCM does not require any prior knowledge for the recruiting process, and we highly encourage everyone to apply.
