Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this message finds you well. I would appreciate it if you could kindly share details regarding the pre-interview assessment format and interview process for this role in the Middle East region.
Thank you for your time and support.
The core of the interview assessment method will be the same like all top consulting firms, which will compromise of a behavioural portion and a case problem.
Preplounge's guide is pretty good to ramp up if you are completely new to this:
Hi there,
Just Google “Kearney online preparation tests” and you’ll find plenty of free and paid resources to practice with.
Kearney typically follows a candidate-led format — so focus on mastering the fundamentals:
Nail those skills and you’ll be in a strong position. Happy to help you to be ready for the interview. Just drop me a message.

Also for these type of questions, ultimately the best course of action is to get input from the local recruitment team as every firm and every office will have a slightly different process that gets regularly updated.
Hello there,
Agree with the coach above regarding online materials.
Happy to support you if you're considering hiring a coach. I have recently successfully worked with a candidate for the same position in Brazil.

Hey there :)
For the Associate role at Kearney Middle East, the process typically starts with a pre-interview assessment, which may include a problem-solving or analytical test (often GMAT-style or a case-based online test). After that, you can expect 2–3 rounds of interviews, mostly case-based with some fit questions. The cases are classic strategy consulting style, often market sizing, profitability, or growth-related, and they like structured and clear communication.
Let me know if you’d like to prep one together!
Best,
Alessa :)
Hi there,
Reach out to the recruiter and ask exactly this question. The recruiter will always be able to tell you the office specifics that we are not able to provide, especially because the process tends to change from time to time.
Typically, you submit the CV + CL + referral (if applicable). Then if selected you are invited to do an online test. If you pass that one, they invite you to two rounds of two interviews, each containing a case and a personal fit component.
Best,
Cristian
