London, EnglandPosted Mar 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a fairly structured multi-stage process for a Consultant role, with a mix of fit checks and scenario-style exercises over roughly a few weeks.

Initial screen — A first conversation focused on cultural fit / getting to know me and a quick pitch-style prompt.
Manager discussion — A manager-level interview to cover my experience and fit for the recruitment work.
Onsite / final interview — A later stage with a senior leader (e.g., regional director) to review motivation and align on what the role looks like.
Assessment centre step (when included) — Where I attended, I was pulled into an assessment centre and then met multiple managers to determine which industry/team I would recruit within.

Outcome: I didn’t
