Consultant Interview Questions

S’il n’y a pas vraiment de liste établie en la matière, les employeurs sont assez clairs quant aux qualités qu’ils recherchent chez un consultant. Le candidat doit maîtriser son sujet, savoir gagner la confiance des clients, dégager de l’assurance, avoir le sens de la communication et des compétences de leadership (entre autres qualités). L’entretien d’embauche inclut généralement deux types de questions : celles destinées à en apprendre davantage sur l’expérience personnelle, la motivation et le savoir-être des candidats, et celles destinées à évaluer leurs compétences en consulting.

Questions d'entretien d'embauche fréquentes pour un consultant (H/F) et comment y répondre

Question 1

Question 1 : Pourquoi voulez-vous travailler pour cette entreprise ?

How to answer
Comment répondre : Cette question vise à évaluer votre motivation à l’égard de l’entreprise auprès de laquelle vous postulez ainsi que vos connaissances du secteur. Renseignez-vous sur l’entreprise et veillez à faire ressortir vos principaux points d’intérêt. N’oubliez pas de mentionner les valeurs que vous partagez avec l’entreprise.
Question 2

Question 2 : Parlez d’une expérience lors de laquelle vous avez joué un rôle de leader.

How to answer
Comment répondre : Choisissez une expérience pour laquelle votre contribution a été significative, soit en tant que manager, soit dans le cadre d’une collaboration. Décrivez le contexte, l’objectif qui devait être atteint, votre rôle de leader, les actions que vous avez menées et leur résultat, ainsi que ce que vous avez appris sur vous au cours de cette expérience.
Question 3

Question 3 : Comment aideriez-vous une petite entreprise locale à « remonter la pente » après une forte baisse de rentabilité ?

How to answer
Comment répondre : Analyser des problèmes d’entreprise complexes est une des caractéristiques du métier de consultant. Il n’y a pas de modèle universel pour ce genre de question, c’est à vous de créer votre propre cadre. Posez des questions, définissez clairement le problème, déterminez des catégories Mutuellement Exclusives et Collectivement Exhaustives (principe MECE) en précisant comment vous analyseriez chacune d’elles, et définissez les étapes suivantes.

Two case studies -- one quantitative, one not. On the quantitative one the interviewer came totally unprepared and made up numbers, which resulted in a valuation of $90B for a new possible drug. I was also asked by the same individual why I wasn't looking to join McKinsey instead.
