How We Hire

Avascent invites a select few candidates to join the firm each year. A structured, two-phase interview process enables us to assess your capabilities and provides you a window into our work and our culture, ensuring that we are a good fit for one another:

Application

The Application phase requires submitting a resume, cover letter, and an unofficial transcript.

First Round Interviews

The First Round consists of Case and Resume interviews. The Case Interview walks you through a typical Avascent project and the types of questions we try to answer. The Resume Interview gives you a chance to talk through your resume and explain how your background, experience, and career interests align with working at Avascent.

You will also be paired with an Interview Buddy – a Junior Analyst that can answer any questions you have about the firm, our work, the culture, etc. They’re a resource for you to lean on, so reach out to them!

No prior knowledge is necessary to do well on the case – we’re assessing your critical thinking skills and how you tackle the problems we face. You can review a sample Avascent case here:

Final Round Interviews

A Peer Interview with a junior team member includes a series of behavior- and scenario-based questions and the sharing of a project deliverable to discuss the process for producing it.

Senior or Manager Interviews uncover your capabilities, motivation, and work-style preferences.

A Career Interview with a Talent Acquisition team member focuses on your capabilities, broader career interests, and overall alignment with Avascent.
