Tips from the inside

Looking for all-arounders

When it comes to recruiting new consultants, Mars & Co says it’s looking for balanced individuals who thrive on teamwork. But above all else, the firm wants “generalists”, because unlike many consultancies, it doesn’t specialise by industry or function. These generalists, then, should be able to come up with strategic ideas from the analyses of competitors in the market, as well as current market conditions, says the firm. If you want to stand a chance of getting a foot in the door, you should also possess good quantitative skills, bags of energy and creativity, and, of course, common sense—a good sense of humour doesn’t go amiss either, according to the consultancy.
