Comme la plupart des candidats, vous partagez le même constat : le processus de recrutement dans le conseil en stratégie est un véritable parcours du combattant, à la fois sélectif, éprouvant et aussi difficile qu’un concours des Grandes Écoles. À chaque tour, la majorité des candidats est éliminée (Table 1).
Fait #1 : Pour 1000 candidats en MBB, 3 recevront une offre.
Les candidats qui réussissent sont obligés de se préparer de manière intensive. Sans accompagnement, il leur faut des centaines d'heures de travail pour pouvoir espérer passer les tours jusqu'au bout du process — en supposant qu'ils aient eu accès à des partenaires de cas compétents et à des ressources récentes et de qualité ! Les ressources classiques comme le Case In Point sont dépassées. Année après année, le niveau moyen des candidats augmente ; si vous souhaitez être dans le haut du panier, vous devrez vous aussi acquérir tous les codes et best practices de cette épreuve très spécifique et normée.
Fait #2 : Les méthodes traditionnelles de préparation sont obsolètes.
En 2017, quand nous avons créé PrepaStrat, il n’existait aucune préparation complète et méthodique pour accompagner les candidats tout au long du processus, depuis le début de leur préparation jusqu’aux derniers tours des entretiens. Après avoir nous-même vécu le processus de recrutement et obtenu des offres dans les meilleurs cabinets, nous avons condensé toutes les informations et les expériences récoltées en une méthode complète, pour apprendre de manière structurée et progressive à réussir ses entretiens au conseil. Depuis, nous mettons à jour nos formations plusieurs fois par an, ce qui nous a valu un succès non démenti (Table 2).
Choosing PrepaStrat means staying ahead of the pack.
Quasiment tous nos candidats accompagnés décrochent leur stage ou leur CDI dans le conseil du premier coup.
Nous sommes le plus ancien acteur francophone de la formation en ligne aux études de cas. Nous avons aussi révolutionné le marché en proposant les premiers bootcamps. Pour rester leader, nous mettons à jour nos contenus régulièrement.
Chez PrepaStrat, vous ne trouverez pas de formation aux entretiens de finance : le conseil en stratégie est notre cœur d'expertise et non un complément à notre gamme.
Nous sélectionnons nos coachs avec le plus grand soin pour leur pédagogie et leur expérience des recrutements. Nos coachs bootcamp et entretiens sont tous issus de MBB (senior consultants a minima).
Nous optimisons la préparation de chaque candidat en leur proposant une approche personnalisée, moderne et garantie sans langue de bois.
Nous formons tous les profils : des étudiants en école qui cherchent leur stage aux consultants chevronnés qui souhaitent changer de cabinet, en passant par les doctorants et les profils expérimentés.
Nos élèves intègrent le cabinet de leur choix : stratégie, management, audit, IT, boutique spécialisée… Nous vous conseillons sur les processus spécifiques à chaque cabinet.
Nous délivrons une formation ciblant spécifiquement les bureaux francophones des plus grands cabinets : leurs attentes diffèrent de ce qui est enseigné dans les formations internationales aux études de cas.
Que vous sortiez d'une école cible ou que vous ayez un parcours atypique, nous vous aiderons à briller en entretien, comme les centaines de candidats qui vous ont précédés !
Vous êtes chef de projet en entreprise, fraîchement diplômé d'un MBA, docteur ou déjà consultant ? Vous avez probablement des attentes spécifiques et peu de temps pour vous préparer aux entretiens. Optimisez votre recrutement en choisissant PrepaStrat : tous les senior hires que nous avons coachés atteignent leurs objectifs.
Nous vous préparons aux meilleurs cabinets de conseil en stratégie :

An experienced Senior Consultant with two MBB offers under his belt, Grégory was keen to give back to PrepaStrat what the team had given him during its processes. He thus created PrepaStrat's Bootcamp offering, writing all the course materials and a book of case annals containing over 100 self-corrected case statements. An expert in case studies and strategy consulting interviews in general, Grégory has been instrumental in advising experienced candidates wishing to switch to a top strategy consulting firm after a few years' experience, in consulting or elsewhere.
A brilliant candidate with an impressive career path, Clémentine is now a consultant at McKinsey, having hit the "Grand Slam" in her processes (offers received at every firm she has worked for). Clémentine contributed to the creation of PrepaStrat's content by being the first beta-tester of the course as it was being prepared. Having fallen in love with the pedagogy that has worked so well for her, Clémentine developed the monthly Webinars offered by PrepaStrat, which enable candidates to attend the resolution of a case study live every first Wednesday of the month from 7pm to 9pm. Her kindness and sharp mind make her a valuable asset to the team.
