Hey there!

Yes, candidates applying for a Business Analyst role at Kearney Middle East are typically required to complete a pre-interview test or assessment as part of the selection process. This test is generally designed to evaluate problem-solving skills, numerical reasoning, and logical thinking, which are critical for consulting roles. The format often includes:

  1. Quantitative and Analytical Questions: Similar to GMAT-style questions, focusing on data interpretation, math skills, and logical reasoning.
  2. Case-Based Questions: These may present business scenarios requiring analysis and decision-making to mimic consulting cases.
  3. Situational or Verbal Reasoning: Some tests also include components assessing your ability to comprehend and analyze written information.

The assessment may vary slightly across regions, but preparing for general consulting aptitude tests and case interview scenarios will help you perform well. It’s advisable to confirm the exact format with the Kearney recruitment team or recent candidates who have undergone the process.

Best, Alessa

Yes, based on what I know from other candidates, they typically have to complete a pre-interview assessment.

However, I’d recommend checking directly with Kearney’s recruitment team or through their portal to confirm the specific process for your application.
