Getting Hired
Tips from the inside
Selectivity
The hiring process at AlixPartners is uniquely intense; as one recent successful candidate states, it’s “like no other you will find in consulting.” Candidates can expect to face a veritable barrage of tests spanning an impressive (and intimidating) spectrum of subjects. For a brief synopsis, see this consultant’s laundry list: “IQ tests, personality tests, accounting tests, cash flow modeling tests, an interview with a psychologist”—and the list goes on, also including at least one six-hour skills examination designed to evaluate logic and problem-solving talents.
