Kearney

Hi there,

Q: I wanted to understand if a decision to move to next interview is made after all individual interviews or completion of a full round containing 2 or 3 interviews?

I believe you are referring to the decision to move to the second/final round.

All interviewers in the first round should agree that you should move forward to pass to the second round. If they have doubts, you might be offered an extra first-round interview.

Good luck!

Hi there,

You need to finish all interviews for a given round before they will make a decision.

Here's some reading to help you ace those interviews!

Hi there!

It's always made after the completion of the round. 

Even if you absolutely bombed the first interview :) they're still going to ask you for the second or third in the round. 

They want to get an understanding of your average performance as well as an objective view of who you are (not one that is based on one interview alone). 

Best,

Hi there,

it usually works like this:

• the candidate completes all interviews scheduled for the first round (could be only 1 or 2-3, depending on the firm/region)
• after the first round, all interviewers discuss their assessment of the candidate (together with HR) and jointly align on whether or not to advance the candidate to the next round - disagreements will be discussed and resolved during that meeting so that whatever is communicated to the candidate is based on consensus
• the process repeats like that - including the final round

Hope that helps

Hi there,

as other coaches mentioned, decision is always made after a full round (otherwise, what's the point of having rounds anyway?).

Note that for Kearney, in certain locations they do more rounds but only 1 interview per round - not the norm, but can be the case. 

Hope this helps.
