Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Initially there are two personality screens. The first, screening fit for role, one follows a personality type that Gallup developed called "StrengthsFinder." Typically they are looking for competitive types who also exhibit traits of "cause-effect" thinking. The second personality test tests fit for firm. Gallup is a firm believer in "pay-for-performance." They are also seeking "grinders" who are comfortable with a data driven approach to Human Capital.

Following this, there will be a series of 2-3 phone interviews. Some of these interview questions will seem similar to those on the online tests, however they are now testing for how quickly one thinks.

Finally, applicants who get past the phone screen, are invited to come on-site to the internship location. On this super-day there are a series of group and one-on-one interviews with individuals ranging from the office-head to senior consultants. During the one-on-one interviews, the interviewer will expect that you have questions.
