01 · Overview

Interviewing at Air France

Air France evaluates candidates through a fairly structured loop that mixes recruiter or HR screening, behavioral and hiring-manager conversations, and technical manager discussions. Across the roles in your set, the recurring theme is practical analytics work: KPI monitoring, data consolidation, dashboarding, and forecasting, with strong emphasis on tools like Power BI and advanced Excel.

What they test most consistently is your ability to turn data into business reporting and decisions. The top technical topics include KPI monitoring, business analytics, data consolidation, dashboarding for sales, Power BI, advanced Excel, forecasting, and market trend analysis, plus BI insights, sales reporting, and data collection from operational flows. Database operations shows up as well, focusing on tabulation and storage rather than theory.

Based on the candidate reports provided here, the process includes multiple interview types (behavioral, hiring manager, technical managers and stakeholders) plus online assessments such as personality and logic components. After the interviews, the only explicitly reported post-round step is an offer discussion, and the aggregated offer rate in the provided reports is 0.0%.

Good to know

The technical bar is anchored in end-to-end reporting, not just analysis: KPI monitoring plus consolidation of data, then dashboarding and forecasting, with Power BI and advanced Excel explicitly showing up in the topic mix.

07 · Insider tips

What separates offers from rejections

Patterns from candidates who got offers, and the mistakes that most often sink a loop.

Do this

  • Prepare to explain how you monitor KPIs over time, including what data you need, how you consolidate it, and how you decide when something is off. Use examples aligned with KPI monitoring and business analytics topics.
  • Be ready to design or critique a dashboard for sales reporting, including what you would track, how you would structure the views, and how you would use the output as BI insights. Tie your answers to dashboarding and Power BI topics.
  • Practice forecasting and market trend analysis using the same mindset you use for BI reporting: identify the inputs you need, justify the approach, and show how the result would inform decisions. Keep your explanation grounded in forecasting and market trend analysis.
  • Brush up on advanced Excel and how you handle data consolidation and data collection from operational flows. Expect questions that connect Excel proficiency with turning operational data into statistical or reporting outputs.

Avoid this

  • Do not focus only on pure statistics or theory. The topic mix repeatedly returns to reporting and operational analytics tasks: consolidation, dashboarding, sales reporting, and BI insights.
  • Do not assume a generic behavioral interview is separate from the rest of the loop. Behavioral fit is explicitly listed, but it sits alongside technical manager and hiring-manager discussions that assess both technical skills and fit.
  • Do not ignore tool-specific preparation. Power BI and advanced Excel are explicitly prominent topics, and the loop includes technical evaluations and assessments.
  • Do not count on a high offer rate from this dataset as a signal for how you are doing. The aggregated offer rate in the provided candidate reports is 0.0%, so you cannot infer performance expectations from that number alone.
