Selection process
Three interviews to learn about your background, your motivations, and how you approach the firm’s challenges.
During the selection process, we aim to assess your knowledge, but also to gain a better understanding of your background, what motivates you, and what you expect from your next workplace.

Motivation assessment
A conversation to understand your background, your motivations, and your communication style.
This part of the process helps us better understand your personality, your communication and interaction style, and the factors that have shaped your career path.

The key qualities we’re looking for are as follows:
- Energy, dynamism and listening skills
- Motivation and empathy
- Professional knowledge and interests
Case studies
An exercise designed to assess your reasoning, your ability to organize your thoughts, and your approach to problem-solving.
The case study is intended to provide a better understanding of your approach to challenges, your analytical skills, and your ability to develop recommendations.
It allows us to evaluate the following aspects in particular:
- Quality of listening and dialogue
- Structured and comprehensive note-taking
- Ability to structure and synthesize
