Consultant Interview Philosophy
Many firms interview by asking candidates how they problem-solve; at Monitor, we have them show us. We believe we can better ascertain your skills, capabilities and 'fit' with our culture and values by having you demonstrate them rather than simply talk about them. For example, rather than asking you to share your approach to a business problem, we have you perform analysis and make specific recommendations on an actual business case adapted from real Monitor client work.
In general, we are looking for candidates to demonstrate three key characteristics:
- Capabilities: We test both analytic and interpersonal capabilities throughout the interview process in a variety of formats.
- Capacity to Learn: The capacity to learn new skills quickly is equally if not more important than your existing capabilities. You should be able to take feedback, learn from it and integrate it into your perspective and solutions.
- Commitment: Interest in and passion for the business problems our clients face and the opportunities and culture that define Monitor is something that we take very seriously. Consulting is a challenging and exciting field; we want to hire consultants who will thrive in this environment and contribute to our community.
