Hi there,
It depends on the country and the position you are applying for.
For undergrad and MBAs:
- Some countries such as UK have deadlines for the applications. They are usually well advertised on the company and university websites. If that’s not the case, you can contact HR
- Other countries, such as Italy, have rolling admission – meaning you can apply all year long
For experienced hire positions, there are normally no deadlines, as the positions are posted on a per-need basis.
In terms of the best period to apply, many interviews take place in September-November (January intake) and January-March (September intake).
The best period to apply as a new graduate is at the beginning of the period when interviews take place, since the process just reopened and you have less competition. This is likely to be September for the January intake, and January for the September intake.
Having said that, the COVID made things a bit more complicated due to lack of projects and uncertainty. If you are applying via referral (strongly recommended), it would be useful to ask your connection what’s the current situation in terms of recruiting to take that into account.
Best,
Francesco
