Colloquio
Sono entrato come experienced, da un’altra società di consulenza.
Ho fatto diversi step di colloquio, ognuno dei quali “standard” rispetto al classico processo di selezione di un consulente (presentazione generale del proprio profilo, case study numerico, Q&A’s e varie ed eventuali).
Processo molto veloce: dal tempo di ingaggio alla proposta è passato circa un mese e i feedback post colloquio sono stati veloci (nel giro di 2/3 gg). Ho apprezzato molto che il Partner - al momento di confermarmi la proposta di assunzione - abbia speso due parole per darmi un feedback sui miei colloqui, fornendomi anche 2/3 spunti sulle aree di miglioramento.

Alcuni esempi che ricordo: ho valutato la profitability di ingresso in un nuovo mercato; ho dimensionato un progetto consulenziale; ho fatto un market entry per valutare se entrare o meno in un determinato mercato, con particolare attenzione alle barriere che avremmo trovato.

Colloquio
Rigorous process with 6-7 rounds of interviews with partners and principals. The case interviews are really interviewee-led, and more challenging than the BA/Associate level emphasizing on tangible data needed, where to get data, and how to structure a team/workplan.

Given the scope and context of the case, how would you structure the team, resources, time, and activities for each workstream?
First round case second round behavioural detailed - easier than McKinsey behavioural, harder than Bain BCG. Written case for certain teams with detailed presentation. Generalist role doesn’t require presentations and written case studies

Colloquio
I've interviewed with most of the big consulting firms at one point or another this was one of the more disorganized recruitment processes i've dealt with.
A recruiter reached out on linkedin to schedule an initial screening via zoom. Went well enough, so I was then scheduled to interview with two managing directors. Both interviews were then rescheduled (no worries), but then one was cancelled all together, but I had to reach out to learn that after not seeing the new calendar invite come through. There were multiple points of recruitment contact while this was happening, so never sure who to reach out to.
Whats odd is that I was never asked to officially apply for the position in an ATS.
I took time off work and had an interview with a managing director level person - by no means did it go poorly, but then I was completely ghosted by the 3 recruitment points of contact I had previously. No feedback, no rejection, just radio silence after following up multiple times. I can understanding being ghosted at the phone screen point, but taking time off work to meet with an MD, I think its in pretty poor taste to just ghost a candidate.
Anyways, very odd process, felt chaotic and not well defined. I think they need some consultants to come in and write some SOPs / best practices :)

Typical experiential questions, what technical capabilities do you have, why Kearney, what is driving the desire to switch, behavioral tell me about a time with a difficult client type questions.
