Assessment Center

Panel Interviews
A series of panel interviews is conducted with each potential new hire candidate. The interviews are structured using traditional resume questions, assumption-based questioning using your previous project experience as a starting point, and/or behavioral questions to understand your past work experience and gain an understanding of your interest in KT. The behavioral questions involve asking you to describe your actions in a past experience in the context of critical consulting skills.

Case Studies
At the heart of the value that KT brings to our clients is the way in which we use our rational processes to get to the heart of our clients business issues. To assess for a candidate’s aptitude in this area we provide you with the opportunity to work on a problem-based case study in which we ask you to identify the root cause of the highest priority issue you can identify. Following completion of the case studies we conduct a group debrief, and extend the case study into a mock consulting project. Here we look for teamwork and creativity under pressure.

Presentations
The first component of the Assessment Center is the presentation. Each candidate is required to deliver a persuasive presentation to a group of observers, most of who will be seen throughout the course of the Assessment Center day. The presentation should attempt to persuade the observers of the validity of your thinking, it should be structured in a way that allows you to demonstrate a systematic and organized approach to communication. It is also an opportunity to demonstrate your presentation skills in front of an unknown audience – performance under (a slight amount of) pressure.
