I know it may sound strange but how Roland Berger guarantees that they get the best candidate if one of the criteriums for consultant is the local language? I am asking because e.g. I speak fluent English but it is not my mother language, which limits me only to apply to positions in the UK since I am Europen. On the other, hand the UK decided to leave the EU, therefore it might be slightly complicated with working there. Therefore, I was wondering what are the chances of prospective candidates who do not speak the local language (e.g. of the office based in Europe) to be hired for a consulting position?

My native language is Slovak, I am a passive speaker of Czech, have intermediate knowledge of Korean and basic knowledge of Russian and Chinese.

Dear user,

you should know the local language but you we do not only hire native-speaker (speaking fluently is totally fine). It is important that you can work on a project in the country of your choice and communicate with the clients, thus you should know the local language. For example, I have also colleagues from the UK working in our Frankfurt or Zurich office.

If you are interested in working in a country which is not your home-country, please note that you might need a work visa (but this is not RB specific, you will need a visa anyways). At RB, everyone has the same chances as long as you are fluent in English and/or the local language.
