A recruitment process in three steps

After a first round, following an examination of the CVs and cover letters, candidates take part in a formal recruitment process. This is made up of three interviews.

• Operational Interview
During the first interview, the candidate analyses one or several case studies. Here, their reasoning skills are evaluated, as well as their problem-solving skills. The case studies can be theoretical or, more often, directly inspired by assignments carried out by Karistem.

• Mutual interest interview
This second interview allows us to confirm the mutual interest between the candidate and Karistem. For the consultant, it includes highlighting the value of their achievements and their motivation. For the firm, the objective is to confirm the match between the aims and the competences of the candidate without forgetting their personality. A new case study can be submitted.

• Confirmation Interview
During this final interview, the candidate meets a Director or a Principal of Karistem. Decisive, this step validates or not the recruitment of the consultant. The subjects discussed can be very varied, including topics like professional challenges met or the candidate personality.

This fixed salary is re-evaluated each year in relation to the performance of each consultant.
