Question about technology assessment

Hi Preplounge Community,

I was recently invited to a healthcare consulting firm's interview and was asked to perform a technology assessment for a consultant role. Would really appreciate if anyone could provide some insights into what might be included in a technology assessment! 

Many thanks!

Hi there,

You haven't given us enough info…

What company are you actually interviewing with?

What “assessment” did they say?

Is this a written assessment? And online test? A live case? We need to know what they said (ideally verbatim) in order to help!

Hi there,

This could be a lot of things, e.g., 

  • general aptitude tests (e.g. GMAT or SOVA style)
  • psychometric tests like the Pymetrics
  • a domain-relevant technical interview (like the McKinsey TEI)

Did they specify in their invite what it will be about?

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Q: Would really appreciate if anyone could provide some insights into what might be included in a technology assessment

I don’t think we can help much, as we don’t have enough information. As mentioned by Ian I would recommend you add:

  • Company name
  • Any information they provided on the assessment already

Best,

Francesco

This is a great question… for them. If you are being assessed on something you need to get a clear view from the interviewer on what they will be assessing.

This isn’t a super helpful answer but I have no idea! I really recommend asking them!

Let's say HR reaches the candidate for an interview invitation via phone call. Would HR ask any kind of question that needs to be prepared?
