Bain SOVA Assessment

Hello there,

Yes, the standard is the online assessment between CV screening and R1 interviews.

Thank you for your question. Typically, candidates who meet the initial screening criteria for Consultant positions at the Bain London office are invited to complete the online assessment. However, the exact process may vary depending on the volume and quality of applications. If you have applied, keep an eye on your email for any updates from the recruitment team.

It's used in most cases, but I think they skip it for some offices and for some experienced hire profiles as well. But for AC / C recruiting in London, it's standard.

That's the typical path, yes. 

However, there are often changes depending on the cycle and the role, so I would always check this with the recruiter.

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, and contrary to what other coaches have said, the Bain Sova pre-interview assessment is typically sent out to all applicants before the screening phase.
• Moreover, given the strict timeline of UK hiring, I would advise you to reach out to the recruiter if you haven't received the invitation for the pre-interview assessment in time.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Bain Sova pre-interview assessment and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen
