Helios Consulting interview questions

You need to take multiple aptitude and workplace personality assessments to see if you're a good fit. Allegedly, they only look to reach out to ~1% of the people who take their assessments, and they're followed by 3 rounds of interviews, with the head of the recruiting program, chief people officer, and someone else. Some of the questions are fairly straightforward, but some are more niche and unexpected. Although the questions themselves are hard, they're not particularly technical--in fact they specified that they were looking for people without too much technical experience who would benefit the most from their program, so keep that in mind. In short, it was lengthy. There was a period of over a month and a half where I heard nothing from the recruiter at all, with an uncertain start date and them not being sure if they secured the company/ies they wanted to work with for that program's cycle. Considering how many rounds there are total for the interview process, I initially applied in March of 2024 and did not hear a final verdict until late May, so be prepared to wait to hear about your offer.

As others have pointed out, it is a pretty outdated interview method. It is a 4 part assessment. From reading other interview reviews on here, they seem to use similar, or possibly exactly the same, test for every position. The first part is an aptitude test trying to assess your behavior/personality and if they like it. This is the longest part as there are 28 pages of 5 statements at a time. You need to answer all 5 at a time to move onto the next 5. You're free to use as much time as you need here. The second part gives 15 min for a 50 multiple choice question test to see your pattern recognition abilities. You're not expected to complete all 50 questions in the allotted time. The last 2 parts are 10 min each for 20 mc questions related to Excel and PowerPoint. These are pretty easy to pass if you've used either software before.
