Getting Hired

Tips from the inside

[Editor's note: Prior to the absorption of Fusion Consulting into Global Intelligence Alliance, surveys were conducted with Fusion employees from GIA Asia. The results of the following surveys do not include any other firms operating under the Global Intelligence Alliance Group.]

Team potential

Sources at GIA Asia (formerly Fusion Consulting) say the "normal interview process" involves "two or three rounds of interviews with different levels of staff," including "role play and case studies" followed by "meetings with supervisors."  The consultancy also likes to match up "potential teammates in the selection process to see if there is chemistry."  In addition, the process also involves analytical tasks and role playing for project management or business development situations."  Past questions staffers remember include, "How would you advise a mobile phone manufacturer on entering the Malaysian market?" and, "Estimate how many cargo planes take off from Singapore Airport every year and give your rationale."

If you want to land a position at GIA, it could give you a leg up if you're from one of the "top MBA schools in Asia," including University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong and the National University of Singapore.
