CHECK24 Strategy Office / Inhouse Consulting Internship – Process & Preparation?

Question

Hi everyone,

Next week I have my first interview (Zoom, approx. 60 min) for the Management Consulting internship in the Strategy Office at CHECK24, and I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences:

1. How many rounds are there in total, and what does each one look like (fit, case, brainteasers, onsite day)?
2. What kind of cases come up – classic consulting cases (market sizing, profitability) or product cases (evaluating features, improving user journeys)?
3. How did you prepare, and what would you do differently in hindsight?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Answer 1

Hi there,

I do not know CHECK24's exact process, so confirm the number of rounds with the recruiter. One thing I would prepare either way.

Inhouse strategy teams almost always case you on their own business. Before the interview, make sure you can explain how CHECK24 makes money, mainly commissions when a customer signs a contract through the portal, across insurance, energy, banking, travel and more. Know which verticals matter most and what drives growth, more users, better conversion, or higher commission per contract.

Then practice two kinds of cases. Classic ones like market sizing and profitability, and product ones like "should we launch this feature" or "why did conversion drop in car insurance". For product cases, structure around the user journey, from first visit to comparison to signed contract.

If it helps, I am happy to run a free case with you before next week. Just reach out through PrepLounge.

Best,
Nikola

Answer 2

Hi there,

Try not to overcomplicate this! HEre's what you need to do.

1) Check with the recruiter/HR. Specifically ask them what you can expect.

2) Be ready for “anything”. That is, learn how to solve problems in an objective-driven way, no matter the case type, industry, or interview style.

Answer 3

Hey there :)

I’d prepare for a mix of fit questions and a practical case. Since CHECK24 is very product driven, I’d expect cases around product improvements, customer journeys, growth and profitability, alongside classic market sizing and business cases. The exact process can vary by team, so I’d ask the recruiter about the remaining rounds.

For preparation, practise structuring cases, interpreting data and making clear recommendations. Also think about why you want to work in an inhouse consulting team and why CHECK24 specifically.

Best of luck with your interview!

Best, Alessa :)

Answer 4

Hi there,

Congrats for the interview invite!

Actually, questions 1 and 2 are best answered by the recruiter. So I recommend you send them a message.

I'm happy to provide my thoughts on question 3 once you have clarity on the first questions - so you can have a more tailored prep plan.

Best,
Cristian

Answer 5

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from CHECK24!

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

First of all, the number of interview rounds and their exact format is something only the CHECK24 recruiting team can tell you for certain. I would advise you to simply ask your recruiter before next week, since this is a completely normal question.
Moreover, in-house consulting teams like to use case studies that are close to their own business. I would strongly advise you to understand how a comparison portal earns its money, and to prepare for classic as well as product-related case studies to a level where the type of case study does not matter anymore.
Lastly, please do not underestimate the personal fit part. You should have a convincing answer to why you want to work in an in-house consulting team instead of a consulting firm, and why at CHECK24.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming CHECK24 interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

One thing I'd add is to practice a case using CHECK24's actual business model rather than just generic profitability cases.

For example, imagine insurance quote requests increased by 20%, but commission revenue stayed flat. What would you check first? Conversion rates, completed contracts, commission per contract, cancellations?

I think working through a few scenarios like that would be useful, especially for an in-house strategy role. No guarantee they'll ask anything similar, of course, but it gets you thinking about the business rather than memorizing frameworks.
