Hi,

I have been invited for a exploratory call for a position at Kearney Dubai. I have three questions:

1) Any idea what the “exploratoy call” entails? 

2)How many rounds are typically held for a manager level role within consulting at Kearney?

3)What type of questions to expect?

 

Thanks!

Hi Anny,

1. A screening call could either be

  • Screening call to understand your motivation with fit questions plus provide information on the process/position to be sure you are aligned. Fit questions are usually the traditional non-stories ones:
    1. Tell me about yourself
    2. Why consulting
    3. Why us
    4. Why hire you
  • Short case (restricted to a few offices where sometimes this is conducted by recruiters)

If you didn't receive additional information, most likely will be the first. If you have doubts, I would clarify with HR.

2. Usually 2 rounds

3. Based on the previous questions I know they asked in Dubai, the following are some common types (they ask also other questions though):

  • Profitability/Rev Increase/Cost decrease
  • Market Entry / New product
  • Market sizing

If you need help please feel free to PM me, I helped several candidates for Kearney Dubai and know 20+ real questions they asked there.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

For #1 and #3 you need to be prepared with a clear resume walkthrough/elevator pitch as well as why you're interested in consulting and the company. 

For more info, check out this article: https://www.preplounge.com/en/tell-me-about-yourself-interview-question

Additionally, you should be prepared with questions of your own!

Typically, Kearney has 2 rounds, though I have heard of more happening depending on the office/situation - you should have a clear view of this shortly (the recruiter will tell you once they start scheduling your interviews).

Good luck!

Hi Anny,
1. it usually entails motivational questions (why strategy consulting, why Kearney, why Dubai)
2. Two rounds of 1-3 interviews each
3. Every interview will include a fit part (motivation + personal experience) and a business case. Feel free to text me to know how I supported hundreds of experience-hired candidates in achieving offers in consulting

Best,
Antonello
