Hello,
I have an interview with Efficio, which includes an excel-based case study. Does it require any preparation? And does anyone have sample tests to share?
Appreciate a quick response.

Hi there,
The answer for any interview in regards to “should I prepare” is yes :)
Unfortunately I don't know much about Efficio (imagine that, a coach confessing ignorance!), but a quick google led me to understand the following from their interviews:
- An online numeracy and problem-solving test
- A first round of interviews, typically involving two interviews and a case study
- An Excel-based case study
- A second round of interviews with senior management
I actually do have a few excel-based real-life case studies (from past candidates). They are across the topics of food delivery, investment decisions, and mining/operations optimization.
Feel free to reach out and I can take you through them!
Hi there,
I actually took and passed that test. However that was several years ago (feeling old;)) so it may have changed in the meantime. At the time, if you were familiar with the main Excel formulas you definitely had an advantage.
Given Ian has some resources, I would recommend to reach out to him as preparing with something similar would definitely help.
Best,
Francesco

Hello!
I haven´t taken it myself, but I have seen mocks and you benefit from knowing the classical formulas. Any basic Excel course can gives you some background, but the key in Excel is to have a lot of practice so you can be very quick.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
I have an excel-based case, but it's not related to procurement. I would guess that something related to procurement would be more appropriate in your situation. I believe Ian is your best option here.

I would appreciate if you can share those Excel mock tests with me, as I have an upcoming excel test for a consultant position as well in the procurement and SCM consulting.
Thanks,
If you can please share the materials with me as it would be super useful with interview rounds coming up!
