Interview process

Our interview process will allow you to meet a wide selection of our staff, and is typically conducted over two or three rounds. Interviews are structured to allow us to judge whether your talents match the qualities we are seeking and let you gain a deeper understanding of the firm’s culture and the nature of the Business Analyst role.

Interviews usually are a mix of general discussion combined with a problem solving component. Through this discussion you will have an opportunity to demonstrate your teamwork ability, communication skills and commitment, along with other desirable attributes that we look for, whilst providing an opportunity for us to get to know each other. The problem solving component usually involves some business case study problems, and logic or ‘guesstimating’ exercises, through which we’ll assess your analytical and problem solving abilities. These problems are predominately aimed at assessing how you think rather than what you know, although a minimum knowledge of current business issues is expected.
