Consultancy Interview Questions & Answers

On the phone the lady made it seem like I had a massive chance of getting into the job and work for themselves. When it came down to the video and answering the questions on a timed video I think the time was very off putting as I couldn't construct a good answer to what they were asking me, and with dyslexia, i found this was unfair. in the end, i dint get another conversation just an email telling me I had not met the standards.

they were all quite difficult for the time frame they had put together, and I had mentioned to the woman on the phone before about my dyslexia.

maybe make sure that people with a learning disability are not discriminated on the video time limit, give them a little longer or even give the question out to the candidate and then let them have time to form their answer together and let them press when they are ready to record.

From start to finish the Celsius Recruitment process has been very smooth. I write this as I am about to begin a role in London in April.

Brayden was excellent over the course of the phone interview. Guiding me through the questions, and thoroughly describing the role requirements and what celsius could offer. Brayden has been a fantastic guide throughout.

N/A all questions are very standard - having never worked in sales some of the concepts were at first difficult to process.

My only advice here would be to perhaps make more information available about the companies attending the assessment centre. Whilst I had a vague understanding of what they did, I was not sure if my research was relevant.

Both assessment centres I attended were very well organised and relaxing. Directions given to the offices were also very helpful.

The day began with introductions to fellow candidates before being asked to fill out a psychometric test. After this each candidate was asked to deliver their pre-prepared official introduction to the assessors and remaining group. I found this to be a very supportive environment compared to other, more cutthroat assessment centre environments.

Will introductions complete, we moved on to a group assignment based around the concept of selling red-letter days to a fictional company. This was excellently introduced and compered by company CEO - David Shields.

Once the group task was complete, we returned to discuss our chosen paths. This smalls sales exercise gave a clear indication of what would be required later in the day.

With the morning session complete, we broke for lunch where candidates were told if they'd passed the exercises or not. At this point, we were told who would be having a face-to-face interview with the external client or if we had been taken on by Celsius who would set up future interviews for us.

It was a very friendly interview with 2 interviewers from EC Harris. I had a few questions on economically related questions such as "what happens if the interest rates change" or "how does government lending affect small businesses". I was also asked to tell them about what I found important in a career and what made me apply to EC Harris. They wanted me to make a short 5 minute presentation on a time when I had suggested a change to an already established procedure and how I went about it and also did a group excersise with one other applicant where they asked me to come up with an answer to how many people passed through the key venues of the 2012 London Olympics.

"How would you go about determining the amount of light bulbs in London?"

prepare a good answer to what inspires you about the company and the role. Also try and think analytically and use logical reasoning to answer the questions that they ask.

You will have to do a numerical test, so maybe apply to a few other companies that you are not as interested in, but also require you to do one. This will give you some good practice and prepare you for the one with EC Harris.

Perform a 5 minute presentation on what I described earlier, and determine how many people passed through the key venues of the 2012 Olympics in London. For the 2nd task, I had 10 minutes to prepare with the other applicant.
