All our staff are experienced management consultants who have direct experience of recruitment candidates for the leading consulting firms. Our coaching and support is backed by years of experience, and based on proven techniques to increase significantly your changes of getting hired.

Applications

Around 90% of candidates get rejected at the recruitment stage. It is therefore critical that you put your best foot forward with a clear and persuasive cover letter and CV that optimised for the consulting screening criteria. We offer the following application services:

  • Application Screening - we will review your cover letter and CV, and assess it based on typical consulting criteria. You are provided with clearly actionable recommendations to improve your current applications documents. We will also identify any weaknesses against the typical screening criteria used by the consulting firms, and suggest recommended steps to address these gaps
  • Cover Letter / CV Writing - You will complete a comprehensive proprietary questionnaire that has been designed to provide a comprehensive profile of your academic background, work experience, extra-curricula experiences and other skills. The questionnaire ensures that you do not leave out anything that could potentially be used to strength your application. We then draft a cover letter and CV specifically based on your detailed profile, and optimised for the screening criteria used by consulting firms. The end result is a professional, clearly laid out application that is designed to maximise your chances of being selected for interview

Following the interview, you will also receive a more detailed written evaluation report assessing your performance against the typical assessment criteria used by consulting firms.
