Any good tips on what to focus on? My interview is in 1 day and at last interview they said they wanted to see if I can be structured and if I can jump to quantitiative roles.

Interview is 1.5 h with partner and department lead and there might be behavioural, classic consulting cases, marketi sizing cases, brainteasers and test of general knowledge of HC. Since I am a newbie, what is best to focus on?

What would you recomment do practice?

Thanks!

The human capital cases I've seen were all cost cutting cases with layoffs, outsourcing, shared service center, etc. Here is a basic structure for cost cutting:

Cost cutting cases

Structuring:

  • What is the cost composition and what are the biggest costs
  • Benchmarking of the biggest costs to find the improvement potential
  • Process improvements to meet the benchmarks
  • Costs and benefits of the proposed initiatives

The key concepts that you have to learn:

  • Internal / external benchmarking
  • Idle time
  • Core processes (usually are optimized) and the supporting processes (usually are cut)
  • Math structures (Frequency of operations * time per operation)
  • Other useful structures (e.g. people - process - technology)

Feel free to reach me for further help with these cases.
