DHL Consulting Management Consultant Interview Questions
& Process

First, they review your CV and have some mini essay questions, then an HR interview, followed by an Online Assessment. After that, there are 4 interviews on a recruiting day: 2 with project managers and 2 with partners. These interviews include both behavioral and technical parts.

There were several company presentations and introductory calls, which I found very positive. After that, the assessment center took place, structured as follows: In the morning, two cases were worked on; if successful, the afternoon involved two more cases or interviews.

The interview process was quite thorough but felt fair, with 5 distinct stages. It started with a brief 15-minute chat with HR to confirm my interest and go over the schedule. Next were some online tests, specifically SHL assessments for verbal and numerical reasoning. They also offer a helpful 'Prep Session' a week before the main interviews, which I'd suggest attending as it gives insights into what they're looking for. The main event was a virtual Assessment Center, also called Recruiting Day. The morning session included two interviews, each with a 'Personal Fit' part focusing on teamwork and goals, plus a Case Study. You find out during the lunch break if you advance to the afternoon. The afternoon had two more rounds: a 'Roleplay' scenario dealing with a tough stakeholder and another Case Study. The case studies were very practical, focusing on things like internal risks and improving processes, not just abstract market stuff. I was interviewed by three Senior Consultants and one VP.
