Technology Consulting Graduate Screen

What they ask

The Cairo Technology Consulting Graduate Program runs a fixed pipeline: online application with a questionnaire, online assessments, a recorded on-demand video interview, then a recruitment day or a technical interview for the shortlist, and finally the offer. The first two screens are where most candidates drop, so this question covers them.

Online assessments: standard graduate-style tests, questions in this area, for example:

• Numerical reasoning from a chart or a table (percentage change, ratios, reading a trend).
• Logical or abstract reasoning (next figure in a sequence).
• Situational judgement: a client emails a request that is out of scope while your manager is offline; rank the possible responses.

On-demand video interview: you record answers to behavioural prompts with a short preparation time, for example:

• Describe a situation where you explained a technical idea to a non-technical person.
• Tell us about a time you worked in a team with conflicting priorities.
• Why technology consulting, and why this firm?

Eligibility notes that come up in the questionnaire: degree in computer science, MIS, software engineering or a related field completed within the last 24 months, fluency in Arabic and English, and willingness to travel across the region.

What they look for

• Speed with accuracy on the numerical items; practise a few timed sets beforehand.
• STAR-shaped video answers under two minutes, delivered to the camera, with one concrete result each.
• A credible answer on travel and client work. This is consulting, not an internal engineering job, and the video prompts test whether you understand that.
