To ensure you are as well prepared as possible for your interviews, we have created this guide to support you through every step of the process.
At SummaPartners, we believe that every recruitment process is also a learning experience.
We want candidates who apply to our recruitment processes to undergo a demanding but, above all, formative experience —and for it to be an opportunity to demonstrate their full potential.
We know that many applicants successfully pass the first filter, but then don't spend enough time studying for the analytical test or come unprepared for the business cases. So, here, we are providing you with concrete tools to help you get to each stage confidently.
This is how our recruitment processes are
Our recruitment processes consist of these stages:
Applications
Psychometric and analytical tests
Interviews and business cases
Closure and feedback
Each stage will be an opportunity to demonstrate your analytical skills, your ability to structure ideas, and your business judgment.
How to be well-prepared for every stage
I. Psychometric and analytical tests
The problem-solving test is not impossible, but it does require preparation. Take it seriously:
Practice with GMAT-type problems and detect your weak areas
Simulate real-world conditions: One hour, no distractions, use a stopwatch
Familiarize yourself with interpreting data, graphs, and tables
Trust your process: It is more important to reason well than to memorize formulas
These are Dominga's tips for the problem-solving test:
II. Interviews and business cases
The case does not seek a perfect answer –it seeks to understand how you think:
Structure a clear focus before you begin
Ask questions and think out loud: We want to see your reasoning
Use recognized sources to practice cases: Crafting Cases, Case in Point, HBS Case Guide, KCC Case Book, Caseinterview.com, and Wallstreetoasis.com (*)
Remember that what's important is to come up with a logical solution that makes business sense.

III. Final interview
This stage does not require intensive study, but you must do this:
Research SummaPartners: What we do, what we believe in
Be authentic, share your motivations, and clear your doubts
Remember: We are looking for people who are eager to learn, not for someone perfect
Why are we helping you prepare well for interviews?
Because we want to help you reach your full potential.
At Summa, from day one, Analysts face real projects with high-level clients (in terms of designation and company size), and this demands that you are as well-prepared for the interview process as the rigor you will later have to apply in your job.
This your first job and you still have doubts?
