AT Kearney Middle East phone CV screening - Conducted with every applicant?

Question

Hi,

I applied to AT Kearney Middle East a couple of days ago, and received an e-mail for a CV screening request via a 10 minute phone call.

Just out of interest, is there a filtering process for who is called for CV screening and who not, or is it conducted with nearly all applicants for AT Kearney Middle East? I know knowing this does not change the situation, but it would be good to know whether I should keep realistic hopes for a first-round interview invitation after receiving a CV screening request.

Answer 1

Hey A,

usually ATK in Dubai follows the three round approach:

1st round includes personal fit, test and a case (or two case interviews instead of a test depending on the position you apply and your previous experience)
2nd round - two to three case interviews with more senior colleagues and more demanding and complexed cases (both qualitative and quantitative part), sometimes group cases
3rd round - is with a partner.

Don't be worry about the phone call - it's just a formality before your 1st round. Be relaxed, enthusiastic and authentic!

I have a few friends incl. partners working there - let me know if you need any help with preparation.

Good luck!

Best,

André

Hi,

They can't screen you in 10 min, so don't worry, it's just an informational call
