Hi !
About three weekes ago I applied for a role advertised on linkedin for bcg and I have now been invited to a “hr round interview” scheduled next thursday.
This seems a bit odd to me given that most od the ppl I asked seem to say that it first start with some type of case study/technical questions...
Is that odd? In your experience, what should I expectfrom this and how I prepare for a “sneaky” case study during this round?
thank you in advance for your replies :)

Hi Aissa,
in some countries it is normal to start with an HR round before the actual first round. You could get BOTH fit questions and a case, according to the country. I would clarify in advance with HR what is included in the interview in order to be prepared accordingly.
Best,
Francesco
Congratulations, Aissa.
For experienced hires, I have come across phone screen being conducted before the actual case interviews. The phone screen is conducted by a BCG employee, discussing your resume and why BCG. For linkedIn scenario, I am guessing this is some kind of phone screen by the HR.
BCG is very good in describing what the interview will be. They will probably send you the format, the type of questions, and who will be conducting it ahead of time. So, I am hoping there will be no guesswork involved in what the interview would be.
I wouldn't expect a standard case unless they explictly mentioned. That said, always good to know the basics.
All the best!
I think that if you apply to non-consulting positions, you will get those interviews though.
Hi,
It would help if you write what was the role.
Best,
Is this for a general Associate/Consultant role, or are you applying for a specialised position?
The best way to gauge the typical questions asked would be to look at Glassdoor interviews for BCG, see if anyone has applied for the same role you applied for, and what questions they were asked.
