Simon-Kucher online test - Middle East

Question

Hello everyone. I have received an invitation from Simon Kucher to do an online test as part of my application, which was sent about 2 months ago. I had totally forgotten about the application and even though I have an offer, I'd still be interested to go through the process.

Just curious, what's their online test like? I've seen past threads where participants said it's an SHL-type test but it was for a different region. Is the SK Middle East online test any different? How is it?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Simon-Kucher!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

Even though I am quite certain that Simon-Kucher uses the SHL pre-interview assessment in the Middle East as well, I would advise you to reach out to the recruiter or current consulting staff to know for certain.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Answer 2

Hi there,

The most likely is that it is an SHL-type test as you've said. It's possible (but unlikely) that it's more like a case-based assessment.

I highly recommend you double-check with the recruiter to be sure.

Answer 3

Hi there,

Always in these situations it's best to reach out to the recruiter and get some additional information on the structure of the interviewer.

The content of the interviewer should be a surprise for you as the candidate, but not the structure.

Best,
Cristian
