Newton Europe Selection Round

Hi there
I'm assuming you mean the Newton Europe Selection Day, as a standard part of their recruiting process? Please clarify, if not.
I'm not overly familiar with Newton Europe, given it's quite niche / boutique, but from what I know it's quite standard assessment centre / Super Day kind of format. Here is the feedback I got from a successful candidate that I previously coached.
NE Selection Day format:
- Ice breaker: introduction of an assigned partner to the forum
- Group exercise: role play where candidate is assigned to a team (with different roles) that collectively is expected to solve an unusual business problem
- Individual case study: prepare a kick-off meeting / presentation based on a written prompt
- Numerical reasoning test
- Mini interview(s): reflections on day's performance + personal fit
Furthermore, here some useful info on their overall recruiting process, just in case you haven't seen: Newton Europe recruiting process
Hope this helps! Feel free to PM, if further questions on how to best prepare.
Regards, Andi

Hi there,
You need to better word your question as I'm not quite clear what you're really asking!
Ultimately, more interviews have a case and a fit portion.
