Hey everyone
I'm really interested in applying for Kearney but I didnt see any postings. Does anyone have any insider insight on how I might work on landing the interview beyond resume, interview/case prep?
Also I was wondering whether there was an aptitude test for the experienced associate roles? It seems like its for the undergrad entry only. Just wanted to know if I should prepare for this.
Many thanks!
While I don't have specific information on current job postings, I can provide some general insights on how to increase your chances of landing an interview with Kearney:
Networking: Reach out to current or former Kearney employees through professional networking platforms or events. Building connections and seeking referrals can help you get noticed by the recruiting team and increase your chances of securing an interview.
Directly contact the recruiting team: If you don't see any current postings, it's worth reaching out to the Kearney recruiting team directly. They may have upcoming opportunities or be able to provide guidance on the best way to apply for experienced associate roles.
Tailor your application: When submitting your application, make sure to highlight relevant experiences and skills that align with Kearney's areas of expertise. Customize your resume and cover letter to demonstrate your understanding of the firm and how you can contribute to its success.
Regarding aptitude tests, while I don't have specific information on Kearney's current hiring process, it's possible that they may use aptitude tests for experienced associate roles as well. To be prepared, I would recommend brushing up on your analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as practicing any relevant tests commonly used in the consulting industry.
First of all, reach out to the recruiters.
Discuss with them what opportunities they have available in your geography.
In parallel, start networking with consultants who are ideally new joiners in your target office (at a similar seniority as the one that you're aiming for). Take the pulse from them on how the application process went, what they found useful and what made them successful.
Sharing with you a couple of guides on how to do this networking part and then set up an application strategy:

Hi there,
Remember that the majority of jobs are not posted publicly. Also remember that ~80% of job offers come from some form of connection.
Make sure to network, network, network to both figure out where there are roles (and what roles) as well as increase your chances of getting invited to interview.

You don't need a posting. Consulting firms recruit on a rolling basis.
Indeed, just apply, no need to wait for job postings. Warm regards, Frederic
