Your question is Fit for the Consultant Role. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

Problem

What is it about you that would make you a good fit here?

Explain the specific strengths, behaviors, and experiences you would bring to a Consultant role at Heidrick & Struggles. Focus on evidence rather than personal descriptors. Your answer should show how you work with senior stakeholders, manage ambiguity, prioritize competing demands, influence without formal authority, and take ownership of outcomes. A strong response connects your capabilities to the role and firm without simply repeating your résumé. Use one or two concise examples, structured with STAR, and explain what you learned or would continue developing.
