Case Interviews
Live practice and coaching with experienced consulting recruiters delivered via video conference
Because practice makes perfect...
"Uniquely demanding..."
The consulting case interview is often based on real cases that the interviewer has worked on in the past. It is a uniquely demanding interview format desgined to assess your ability to think on your feet, structure a problem, display strong commercial insight, make calculations quickly and accurately, all whilst maintaining an ongoing and engaging discussion with your interviewer
"Steep learning curve..."
Because the case interview tests so many skills and attibutes simultaneously, it is challenging even for very strong candidates to perform well the first time they tackle a case interview. We see the improvement our candidates with practice, which can often be the difference between success and failure
"Realistic interview experience..."
All our coaches are senior consultants who have interviewed real candidates on behalf of many of the leading international consulting firms. The cases we used are just like the ones used in real interviews. We know what the consulting firms are looking for because we have been there making the hiring decisions ourselves
"Comprehensive feedback..."
With every interview, you will be given detailed feedback on your performance and advice on how to improve. As well as a discussion with your coach at the end of the practice interview, you will get a detailed written assessment. This is based on the criteria and scoring templates used in real life selection processes
How does it work?
1. You schedule an interview
As soon as you sign up for a case interview package, you are sent a link to our online scheduling tool. You can use this tool to see all available interview slots, and make a booking.
2. We draw upon an extensive proprietary case interview library
We draw upon an extensive and proprietary library of case interview questions. Our library covers both market sizing and business case questions, and caters to a range of experience levels at both graduate and MBA level.
Our case library was developed by our senior team, and includes cases have been used in the past by leading consulting firms in real life interviews.

3. The case interview follows a standard structure
A practice interview typically lasts around 40 minutes. In the introduction, the interview will explain their background and ask if you have any questions about the interview format.
This is followed by the case interview section, which can be either a market sizing question or business case question (you can indicate your preference on the scheduling form). The interviewer will then provide you with initial feedback on your performance.
You will have a chance to ask any questions you have about the case interview, or about careers in consulting more generally.

4. We complete a performance assessment
Our expert interviews assess your performance using the same criteria that are typically applied by major consulting firms.
In addition to the verbal feedback provided at the end of the interview, you will also receive a detailed report that sets out your performance against each of these criteria, together with supporting commentary.
