· We have two levels of candidates we hire. In all cases the HR department does the review for level 1 vs 2 candidates. All candidates have a least 2 interviews and a day on the job. Level 1 candidates have their 1st interview with a senior consultant or manager and the 2nd interview with Principals. Level 2 candidates have all their interviews with principals.
