Huron Consulting Group Healthcare Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was really laid back and I enjoyed all the chats I had with the recruiter and current employees. It started with a recruiter screening, then a case interview, and finished with a final round. The screening part was super chill. The case interview was a bit tough since I hadn't done any casing until a week before, but if you had practiced casing for at least 10 hours, it would have been pretty straightforward. The final round included two behavioral interviews with a Senior Consultant and a Director.

I applied through campus recruiting and went through three rounds. First was a 45-minute behavioral interview with a director who was really nice and engaging. It covered standard behavioral questions, and also asked me to rate my Excel skills from 1-10. My advice: be engaging and connect with your interviewer. The second round was a 45-minute case interview, pretty straightforward, about a hospital's dialysis unit. The interviewer led this one. Be clear, confident, and ready to justify your steps. There was also a small quantitative part at the end where a calculator was allowed. The third stage was an onsite in their office with two 45-minute interviews with senior folks (associate level and up). The day started with an analyst panel and breakfast to answer my questions about the role, and I even met the CFO! These interviews were chill and focused on fit. One dug into the role itself, the other into company values. You really need to know Huron's values and how your experiences align. The role-focused interview was a bit tough for me, maybe due to a lack of chemistry with the interviewer. Make sure you know why consulting, what the role might involve, and specifically why Huron. I interviewed on a Friday and got the offer a few days later.

I was excited to apply to Huron after hearing good things from an employee and got referred. About 5 months later, a campus recruiting associate contacted me. She initially thought I was someone else, which was a bit strange since this was my first contact outside of the automated application message. I didn't hear back from her after replying until I followed up about a week later. Then, it took another three days for her to respond. We finally scheduled a phone call. During this brief 15-minute call, the recruiter seemed uninterested and stumbled over her questions. At the end, she offered me two dates to interview at their Chicago headquarters. A few days later, I was asked to provide administrative info and my undergraduate transcripts. About a week after that, I received an email template with my name inserted, stating I wouldn't be interviewing anytime soon, even though I was just offered interview dates. The recruiter said they're on a hiring hold for Analysts but might contact me later if needs arise. I'm really disappointed with Huron's recruiting process because of my unenthusiastic recruiter, and I'm not sure I'm still interested in applying if they do reach out.
