Goldman Sachs opened its 2027 London applications in late June–July 2026 — over three months ago. Goldman hires on a rolling basis, so every week you wait means fewer seats left. If you're targeting a 2027 summer role and haven't applied yet, you're already behind.
When do applications open and close?
London (UK): 2027 summer applications opened in late June–July 2026 and are reviewed on a rolling basis. Goldman doesn't publish one hard deadline for most divisions — roles close as they fill.
United States: We haven't verified exact 2027 dates for the US. Based on previous years' patterns, US summer analyst applications typically open in July. Check the official Goldman Sachs careers page for the current status before planning around it.
The rolling trap
Rolling means your application is reviewed the moment it arrives, and interview invites go out in waves from day one. A candidate who applied in July may have already finished their HireVue while you're still editing your CV. Goldman won't pause hiring to wait for stragglers — desks fill their summer classes months before applications technically close. This is especially true for popular divisions like Investment Banking and Global Markets, where competition is heaviest.
How to apply
- Create a profile on the Goldman Sachs careers portal and select your region.
- Choose one division. Goldman generally lets you pursue a single division per cycle — pick the one that fits your background, not the most prestigious-sounding name.
- Submit your CV and answer the application questions. They're short but screened; generic answers get filtered fast.
- Complete the online assessment if invited — usually sent within days of applying.
- Prepare for the HireVue immediately. Don't wait for the invite; it can arrive within a week, and solid prep takes longer than you think. Practicing your answers out loud — timed — makes more difference than reading guides.
What happens after you apply
Online application → online assessment → HireVue video interview → superday/assessment centre → offer. The assessment is typically aptitude or game-based. The HireVue runs 5–6 questions mixing behavioral prompts with commercial awareness — expect "why Goldman Sachs" and at least one markets question. Final rounds are superdays with back-to-back interviews. The whole cycle can take 4–8 weeks, but rolling means early applicants move through it faster.
