What the recruitment process usually looks like
UK consulting firms typically recruit through an online application, aptitude or situational tests, a video or first-round interview and a final round built around case interviews.
Each stage is a chance to drop out of the process, so keep a note of where you are and what's next. Prepare for the assessment centre.
