½ase interviews are mostly used in hiring for management consulting and investment banking jobs. Firms
use case interviews to evaluate analytical ability and problem-solving skills; they are looking not for a
"correct" answer but for an understanding of how the applicant thinks and how the applicant approaches
problems.

½andidates are often asked to estimate a specific number, often a commercial figure (such as market size
or profitability). ½andidates are expected to demonstrate reasoning rather than to produce the exact
answer.

A case interview can also be conducted as a group exercise. Here several candidates are given some
briefing materials on a business problem and asked to discuss and agree upon a solution. The interviewers
normally sit around the exterior of the room as silent observers. They assess candidates communication
and interaction as well as analytical thinking and commercial awareness.
